Baltimore Ravens beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers, handing Tom Brady his third consecutive defeat

What a dire situation for the legendary quarterback Tom Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who were routed by the Baltimore Ravens 27-22 on Thursday night in a much closer game than the final score.

In a showdown between two past NFL iconic quarterbacks, Tom Brady has lost three back-to-back games for the first time since he started playing professional football in 2000.

The Baltimore Ravens (5-3) wore down a depleted Tampa Bay Buccaneers defence by rushing for 231 yards, and Lamar Jackson threw for 238 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.


Tom Brady (26-of-44, 325 yards) similarly did not throw an interception. He threw only one touchdown pass during a highly underwhelming effort at the home ground, highlighted by close misses, missed opportunities, and errant passes.

It continued an unpleasant trend for Tom Brady's team, which converted only 4 of 13 third downs and rushed for only 44 yards (2.9 yards per carry). And Tampa Bay Buccaneers settled for Ryan Succop field goals on three occasions when they drove into striking range within the 15-yard line.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback was sacked 555 times by Justin Houston in the second quarter, shattering a record he shared with Ben Roethlisberger. It was also indicative of Tom Brady's inconsistent O-line protection.

Leonard Fournette scored a 1-yard touchdown to finish an eight-play, 75-yard drive for the Bucs on Thursday night. After three drives within the 15-yard line stalled, the Bucs scored the second touchdown in garbage time.
