On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played their season opener matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bucs took over the game and won with a score of 19-3. Even though Tom Brady turned 45-year-old in August, he played like any other talent on the team. And while he threw the first touchdown of the season, the Bucs’ wide receiver had a glorious moment in the game. He caught a ridiculous one-handed catch. It was so beautiful that the NFL GOAT wants to remember that moment forever.

The team of Tom Brady and Mike Evans did wonder during the game. In the third quarter, Brady threw a powerful back shoulder fade to Evans. He had to turn his entire body to catch and haul the score. Travon Diggs, the Cowboys’ defensive star tried to interpret the pass, but failed because of Evan’s beautiful technique. The receiver caught the ball and secured it to the ground. The catch provided valuable six points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The fracture will require surgery. Because of this Prescott will not attend some games. This poses a threat for the NFC East champions. Brady was  18 of 27 for 212 yards with an interception. There was a gap in the receiving ends of the Cowboys. Which is why Mike Evans and Chris Godwin caught at least twenty yards in the first quarter.
