Misbar’s Analysis

According to cbssports.com, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell 38-3 to the New Orleans Saints in prime time Sunday night football. Tom Brady never experienced a five touchdown defeat in his 25 years of playing professional and college football -- until Sunday. Brady's 35-point loss to the New Orleans Saints was the largest loss of his career. 

The game was a duel between two of the oldest NFL quarterbacks: Drew Brees (41) and Tom Brady (43). During the game, Brees regained the NFL record for aerial touchdowns with 564, now three ahead of Brady.

According to nbcsports.com, Tom Brady took at least some of the responsibility for the record loss. “We didn’t play well in any phase of the game,” Brady said. “Everyone’s got to do a lot better. And it starts with me.”
