The LA Rams traveled to Florida for their clash against a struggling Buccaneers side. Both teams entered the game riding on poor form and on a below 0.500 record. The contest had a lot on the line for Tom Brady as he looked to shut down his haters. A win for either team would have been a big boost for postseason hopes.

Brady’s men came out on top in a nail-biter of a finish as he recorded 100,000 career passes, the most in NFL history. This game also saw Brady break Peyton Manning’s record of 54 game-winning drives. At 55, Brady has the most in league history.

Entering the fourth quarter with a 6-point deficit, The Buccaneers looked the least favorite to come out on top. Throughout the game, The Rams’ defense put up a hell of a show as they kept the Tampa Bay team from entering their end zone. Even in the fourth quarter as the Bucs looked for a touchdown, the Rams’ defense turned them over on downs. Their offense even ran down the clock as they left Brady without any timeouts.
