This has to be the most embarrassing play of Tom Brady’s career.
During the second half of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Seattle Seahawks in Munich, Germany, the Bucs drew up a trick play that called for running back Leonard Fournette to take the snap in the wildcat formation, then throw a pass to quarterback Tom Brady along the left sideline.
And, as you’d probably expect, it did not turn out very well.
The #Seahawks pick off the #Bucs but it's Fournette trying to pass it to Tom Brady. What was that call Leftwich?
Tariq Woolen gets the pick, he's 5th of the season.https://t.co/C07L0hmgBh

Not only did Fournette throw an interception after Tom Brady fell on the route, but the Bucs were also penalized on the play after Tom tripped Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen.
It’s anyone’s guess why Byron Leftwich would call a play like this from just outside the opposition’s red zone with a 14-3 lead. It’ll be interesting to see if this is the play that turns this game around and possibly even costs the Bucs their season. Stay tuned.
