The rookie tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came through at the final moment and delivered fans with a teeth-clenching, last-minute play that saved the day.

With all the wide receivers in tow, Tom Brady and the Bucs stepped up their offensive game. In only his seventh football game, Cade Otton became the Buccaneers’ saving grace after catching a game-winning touchdown pass from Tom Brady

During the game, the announcer referred to Otton as ‘Baby Gronk.’ It did seem like Otton was Brady’s favourite target in the fourth quarter of the game. The tight end managed a 28-yard pass during the Bucs’ final possession and topped it off with a single-yard game-winning touchdown.

After the game, Otton, who lost his mother last year, shared an emotional message.
