The Jets were this close to upsetting the Buccaneers on Sunday, but Tom Brady still has plenty of magic left at 44 years old.
The longtime Jets nuisance threw a pinpoint-touchdown pass with 15 seconds left in the Week 17 game, cementing a 28-24 comeback win for the Bucs. The last-minute dagger came after a questionable play call from Jets OC Mike LaFleur. Zach Wilson attempted a QB sneak on 4th and 2 from the Bucs’ seven-yard line with over 2 minutes remaining. The rookie was swallowed up by Tampa Bay’s defense, paving the way for Brady’s brilliance.
With the loss, the Jets are now 4-12 entering the last game of the season, though Sunday’s letdown offered plenty of positives. The playoff-bound Bucs, meanwhile, have their own issues to deal with.
