The Bucs and Dolphins of the Atlanta Colts Against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the First Game of the NFL Superbowl Game Presented by Tom Brady
Brady threw a touchdown pass to Leonard Fournette and the running back also scored a rushing touchdown as the Bucs raced into a 21-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The win wasn’t without controversy due to a roughing the passer penalty call which allowed Brady and the team to hold onto the ball.
With the Falcons leading by six points in the fourth quarter, it looked like Atlanta would attempt to take the lead, but they appeared to have stopped the drive with a sack.
“What I had was the defender grabbed the quarterback while he was still in the pocket and unnecessarily throwing him to the ground,” Boger told pool reporter Greg Auman of the Athletic. “That is what I was making my decision based on.”
After the game, Boger said he hadn’t been instructed to keep a particular eye on tackles to quarterbacks following the incident with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa which has subsequently resulted in changes to the NFL’s concussion protocol.
I witnessed that one being called. I saw it against Tua since he got it. I saw it this morning in the London game. “So I think they’re starting to crack down on some of the things, slinging back, I don’t know. Right now, the way that they’re calling it, I think a lot of people would have gotten that call.”
Jarrett refused to talk to the media after the game – unusual for one of the Falcons’ longest serving players – while Brady said: “I don’t throw flags.”
After being displaced by Hurricane Ian two weeks ago, the Bucchans were soundly beaten at home by the Kansas City Chiefs. During the game, Brady appeared to have suffered an arm injury – although he downplayed the seriousness of any potential long-term damage afterwards.
There was a chance of a dramatic end to the game, as the Falcons scored two more late touchdown, including an eight-yard run by Avery Williams.
Brady said it was all about the win after his 55th game-winning drive. “It’s all about the win, man. I didn’t pay much attention to the records. All about the win.”
“That’s football – you’ve got to earn it. You have to play good to get good games. There are five games and we have a lot of work to do. We need a lot of people to step up, we are not close to the point where we can be.
The 45-year-old added: “We just had a lot of three-and-outs. We were not very good. The execution was bad in the second half. We have to learn from the experience.
The Super Bowl MVP, Jordan Brady, was born in Los Angeles, March 12, 2006 and became the first player to reach 100,000 yards in his career
On Sunday, he became the first player in the past 100 years to reach 100,000 passing yards in his career, when he threw for 163 yards and a touchdown in a 16 13 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
While the record was a momentous accomplishment for Brady, he was most proud of his performance against the Rams.
“I think I can’t do [anything] in this league without guys doing what they are amazing at, too. Being down here has been an amazing experience for me because I am fortunate to have great players, people who catch the football, and great coaches.
Brady was given another chance to rescue the game in the fourth quarter after the Bucs had been unable to find a touchdown all evening.
The team won against the reigning Super Bowlchampions and put them back in the lead of the NFC South after a three game losing streak.
