American Football, NFL: Chicago beats Tampa Bay

In a close target game marked by an unusual mistake by Tom Brady, the Chicago Bears dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (20-19).



Tom Brady raised four fingers on his right hand and approached the referee. This powerful image of the Tampa Bay Pirates' loss to the Chicago Bears will remain on Thursday evening (20-19). The legendary midfielder then realized that his missed passes came on a fourth try and that his team, led by one point 33 seconds ahead, had lost the game forever. This is a rare mistake for Brady, a six-time Super Bowl winner who built his career on his composure and performance in such a situation.


But if she loses Tampa Bay on Thursday, Brady won't be the only culprit. The Florida team were extremely unruly (11 penalties for a total of 109 yards) and fragmented in their line of scrimmage (3 bags picked up). Not to mention the fumbling of runner Ke'Shawn Vaughn after a perfect duel from Vincent Fuller, who with just two drops in 1'12 "put Chicago in the ideal position to get back to the top before halftime (14-13) to return.


The second half was about getting a three-point kick. Cairo Santos was the last word for Chicago, from 38 meters to 1'13 '' from the end. Chicago now has a record of four wins for just one loss. Tampa Bay recorded three wins and two losses.
