Tom Brady was left furious after he was shut out for the first time since 2006.
His streak came to an end after 255 consecutive starts, with the last shutout coming when the Miami Dolphins beat Brady 's former side the New England Patriots 21-0.
This was only the third time in his illustrious career that the 42-year-old played on a team that failed to score a point as his Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 9-0 to the New Orleans Saints.
Three Brett Maher field goals were enough to secure a win for the Saints in a low-scoring affair.
The Bucs side were missing wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, while an injury to Leonard Fournette in the third quarter forced him out of the game.
This was the first time in four games that the Super Bowl champions hadn’t scored over 30 points, and the first time all season they failed to score in a game.
In a rare poor game for Brady, he turned the ball over twice and was sacked a staggering four times.
"I don't think we were much good at anything tonight," said Brady.
"I wish it was just one thing. It was a lot of things. We have got to do better in every facet of offensive football to score points. We're not going to win scoring no points."
During the match, the seven-time Super Bowl winner was seen yelling into a camera and threw a tablet in anger while he was sat on the bench.
Microsoft Surface tablets have been used by NFL sides since the tech giant agreed a sponsorship deal with the league in 2014, replacing the black-and-white photographs that had been in use for decades.
Following Brady's outburst, the Buccaneers may need to invest in a new one.
"We've got to get a lot better,” Brady added. “Got to get back to work. There's a lot of football left."
They’ll soon have the opportunity to do just that as the Buccaneers will face the 2016 Superbowl runners-up Carolina Panthers on Sunday, with the aim of sealing the division title and a place in the play-offs.
With Cam Newton's men currently on a four-game losing streak, the Buccaneers will fancy their chances of emerging victorious, but they certainly cannot take their opponents for granted.
