Los Angeles Rams 13 vs 16 Tampa Bay Buccaneers summary: stats and highlights: NFL Week 9

Update:
Nov 6, 2022; Tampa, Florida, USA;  Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (12) drops back to pass against the Los Angeles Rams in the first quarter at Raymond James Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

Tom Brady showed that he is still the best around when the game is on the line Sunday in Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers trailed the Los Angeles Rams for the entire game, but Brady led the Bucs down the field on a last-minute, game winning touchdown drive.

Must win for both teams

Sunday’s showdown in Raymond James Stadium featured the last two Super Bowl Champions, but neither team had looked like a Super Bowl contender going into Week 9. It was a matchup of two generational quarterbacks who are in the midst of their most challenging seasons of their careers.

The offensive struggles didn’t end for either team in western Florida. There were a combined 13 three and outs between the Rams and the Bucs, and each team only entered the end zone once.

The first three and out came on the opening possession when Matthew Stafford and the Rams failed to move the chains and were forced into an early punt.  The Bucs marched all the way down to the LA 3 yard line on the ensuing drive, but had to settle for a field goal to put the first points on the board.

Brady saves best for last

The Rams offense has been all too predictable, and way too one dimensional over the first half of the season. If you can stop Cooper Kupp you can stop the Rams. The Bucs defense was doing a good job stopping the short passes to Kupp in the flat, but the first time Stafford went down the field to Kupp it went for a 69 yard touchdown to give the Rams a lead which they would keep until the last 10 seconds of the game.

The Rams gained just 206 yards all game, and Kupp has 127 of those yards, but for most of the game the Rams defense was keeping the Bucs offense contained. Ryan Succop had one field goal blocked, but made three others to keep the Bucs within striking distance of Los Angeles.

Despite eight three and outs from the Rams, they still led 13-9 late in the game. The eighth and final three and out gave Tom Brady and the Bucs a breath of life with 44 seconds to go, but no timeouts. Brady completed four straight passes before Mike Evans drew a pass interference penalty to put Tampa Bay at the 1 yard line with just over 10 seconds to go. On the next play Brady hit Cade Otton for the game winning TD pass to put an end to the Bucs three game losing streak.

Brady adds to the record books

It was far from a memorable performance from Brady who completed 36 of his 58 passes for 280 yards but it was fitting that on a day in which he surpassed 100,000 career yards he also took sole place of the record for most game winning drives in a career with 55.

as.com

It took 59 minutes and 50 seconds for the Bucs to get into the endzone. It wasn't pretty for the Tampa Bay today, but Brady is known for his late game heroics and proved he is still the best in the buisness with the game on the line.

Tonight's odds

According to Bet365.com, the Bucs come into tonight as three point favorite over the Rams tonight in Tampa Bay and the Over/Under is 42.5 I honestly I’m torn on this but I think that Over/Under is low for two historic quarterbacks. I’m taking the over, just because I’m hoping to see both of these offenses take off.

Can Stafford regain 2021 form?

Tampa Bay's mid season slump

Tampa Bays crisis got even more serious when they dropped their third straight game last Thursday night. The Bucs scored 10 points in the first quarter, but then the the offense flat lined as it so often has this season. Tampa started the game against the Ravens with an early first quarter muffed punt which foreshadowed the way the night would go for the Bucs and Tom Brady who threw for 325 yards and a touchdown. The defense that carried Todd Bowles’ side early this season was shaky again against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. They gave up 453 yards, and 231 of those were on the ground.

LA last week

The Rams may have beat the San Francisco 49ers last year in the playoffs, but the Niners have had their number in the regular season, and continued that trend last Sunday. The LA offense once again shut off as the San Fran defense dominated Matthew Stafford and the Rams. Christian McCaffery ran, threw and caught his way to a 31-14 win over their NFC West enemies and dropped the Rams to 3-4.
