Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are on a two-game winning streak. Their latest victory came over the in-form Seattle Seahawks in Munich. Brady balled hard and even tried becoming the wide receiver on a couple of plays. However, a collision may have caused some concussion troubles for TB12.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seahawks 21-16 at Munich’s Allianz Arena. However, near the end of the 1st half, Brady ended up in a head-on collision when he took a knee. Luckily, Tom Terrific didn’t suffer any injuries and didn’t have to be put on the concussion protocol.

Tom Brady discussed the play on the Let’s Go Podcast with Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald. The five-time Super Bowl MVP made it clear that he sustained no concussion-related injuries in the hit and said it was part of the 1-yard line play. “That’s what happens. You’re backed up, and they’re trying to make a play and I took one right in the face,” Brady said.

TB12 reassured fans and media that his hit was “not as bad as what Josh Allen dealt with on his play.” Tom Brady finished the ball game with 258 passing yards and 2 winning touchdowns.

However, Herbert sustained no damage from the hit, and Niners fans questioned the officiating. Luckily, the Seahawks didn’t face any such problem against Brady and the Buccaneers.
