Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came up against the best NFL defense of the season and that showed. The San Francisco 49ers allowed just one touchdown the whole game as they kept the Bucs’ offense quiet. Naturally, the frustration grew inside Brady. The legendary QB revived the memories of his recent ‘Tablet Slam’ with a frustrated halftime reaction.

Brady threw two interceptions in the game as the 49ers mauled the Bucs 35-7 on the QB’s homecoming game.

Tom Brady cuts a frustrated look 

The Niners’ defense gave no room to Tom Brady and Co. during their week 14 match-up at Levi’s Stadium. At halftime, the score read 28-0 in the favor of the home team. And that was enough to frustrate Brady, who is normally not used to being shut out for the entire half. That frustration boiled over and came out as an angry reaction.

As the teams headed into the locker room for the halftime break, Brady let all his frustration out and looked as if shouting at his offense. “That won’t make him happy,” the commentator quipped as Brady continued with his angry reaction.

The reaction certainly freshened up the memories of the recent ‘tablet slam’ in the week two clash with divisional rivals New Orleans Saints. In that game too, Brady was shut out in the first half. He and the Buccaneers came back to win the game in the fourth quarter, just like they did last week, but TB12 wasn’t so lucky against the Niners.

The Tablet Slam

The angry reaction may have left many fans wondering if any tablets got smashed by Tom Brady. The QB does not have a good relationship with devices and gears as they become victims to TB12’s anger on the sidelines. And Sunday’s reaction brought out the memories of such instances.

The most recent tablet slam came against the Saints in week two. The Buccaneers trailed 3-0 at halftime. Not a bad score, but Brady doesn’t like being shut out. And a Microsoft Surface tablet came to know that the hard way.

The frustration got to Brady, and he hurled the device on the ground, shattering it into pieces. And that is not the only time he did it. Brady also broke a tablet during last season’s 9-0 loss to the Saints. What’s common in all three instances? The zero next to the Buccaneers’ name.

Tampa Bay is 6-7 overall after 14 game weeks. They still have hopes of winning the division, although, with every loss, that window closes a little.
