Older Gentleman Admits on TikTok to Battling Memory Fog at Key Moment

The Bears beating Tom Brady and the Buccaneers last year was the singular biggest win of the year. That game had everything. Key defensive stops. Timely offense. Some clutch throws from Nick Foles. A vintage highlight grab by Jimmy Graham. And Father Time pulling a fast one on Tom Brady.

If you’ll recall, Brady threw into great coverage on a game-ending 4th-and-5 play sealing the Bears win. Except Brady thought it was third down. And finally, that play comes with an explanation:

@tombradyThey taught me how to use the green screen… I’m evolving. Who wants more TikTok highlights? @bucsnfl♬ original sound – Tom Brady

“I thought it was the second to last chance in Chicago. Apparently not.”

Whoops.

Brady will get another chance to take down the Bears this fall. Maybe he’ll remember what down it is this time. Or perhaps he’ll even remember to shake Nick Foles’ hand. Nah. He’ll be too busy passing the torch to Justin Fields in the postgame.
