That's the end of the story. Let's talk about the guys who went out there and won the game.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown's mid-game meltdown came late in the third quarter with Tampa Bay trailing 24-10. He appeared animated while talking to Mike Evans, who tried to calm his teammate. But Brown stripped off his pads, jersey, gloves and T-shirt \u2014 tossing the gloves and T-shirt into the stands \u2014 and then walked bare-chested down the sideline and into the end zone. He then waved to fans as jogged through the end zone and into the tunnel at MetLife Stadium.<\/p>\n It appeared to be a show of frustration by Brown, who had three catches for 26 yards.<\/p>\n \u201cI'm not talking about it,\u201d Arians said. \u201cHe's not part of the Bucs.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown was suspended last month for three games for violating the league\u2019s COVID-19 protocols. He also has a history of personal conduct issues and bizarre behavior.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a difficult situation,\u201d Brady said. \u201cEverybody should do what they can to help him in ways that he really needs it. We all love him. We care about him deeply. We want to see him be at his best. Unfortunately, it won\u2019t be with our team. … I think everyone should be very compassionate and empathetic toward some very difficult things that are happening.\u201d<\/p>\n Brady connected with Cameron Brate for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 4 shortly after Brown's exit, and the QB finished the Bucs' rally with a 33-yard touchdown pass to Cyril Grayson with 15 seconds left.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichaelDavSmith\/status\/1477735429038395396<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/bylindsayhjones\/status\/1477736684628299776<\/a>https:\/\/twitter.com\/PSchrags\/status\/1477754991469383683<\/a><\/p>\n The Bucs stuffed Jets QB Zach Wilson on fourth-and-2 at the 7 for no gain with New York trying to seal the victory. New York coach Robert Saleh said the play should've been a reverse to wide receiver Braxton Berrios, but Wilson had the option to sneak it based on the look.<\/p>\n \u201cWe did a very poor job of communicating that,\u201d Saleh said, adding that \u201dit just makes you sick" because a handoff to Berrios would've likely been a first down.<\/p>\n Instead, it gave Brady and the Bucs the ball back with 2:12 left.<\/p>\n And that was more than enough time.<\/p>\n Brady marched the Buccaneers (12-4) down the field on nine plays, zipping a pass to Grayson \u2014 who was elevated from the practice squad \u2014 for the go-ahead score. It was Brady\u2019s third TD pass of the game and 40th of the season, joining him with Drew Brees as the only players to throw for 40 touchdowns in consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n He finished 34 of 50 for 410 yards, the three TDs and an interception for Tampa Bay, which had Arians back after he tested positive for the coronavirus earlier in the week.<\/p>\n Le\u2019Veon Bell ran in the 2-point conversion against his former team, forcing New York to need a touchdown. But the Jets (4-12) ran out of time.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been in some crazy situations before,\u201d Arians said, "but this was a very special one to come back and win that game.\u201d<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/em><\/strong> clicking here!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
