In the third quarter and leading 14-3, the Buccaneers attempted a trick play with running back Leonard Fournette taking the snap and Brady lining up as a receiver to the left. Surprisingly, Fournette rolled out and was looking toward Brady to catch the ball.

Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich faced criticism on social media for calling the play when the Bucs were up 10 points as the Tampa Bay offense has struggled through their first nine games of the season.

However, quarterback Geno Smith fumbled thanks to Buccaneers linebacker Devin White. Anthony Nelson recovered the ball and the defense was able to bail out the offense.
With 2:29 left in the game, Tampa Bay maintained their lead.
