The Bruce Arians-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered their 4th defeat of the season on Monday night. Tom Brady and Co. slumped to a 24-27 win at the hands of Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams at the Raymond James Stadium yesterday.
Veteran quarterback Tom Brady had a forgettable outing in Week 11. The former New England Patriots man went 26 of 48, throwing for 216 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
It could have been 3 interceptions if it were not for wide receiver Mike Evans who scored a sensational receiving touchdown.

“Yeah, that to look at Leonard….a couple were not really good throws either but when considering RoJo (Ronald Jones) had to drop through the screen real quick but no, I don’t think so whatsoever,” Arians said in the post-game presser.
