Bucs Hold On For 21-16 Win Over Seahawks In Germany

This time, it was Brady and the Bucs going down the field looking to take advantage of a turnover. An early third-down conversion on the drive and then a 29-yard angry run by Rachaad White brought us to the end of the third quarter with Tampa Bay up by 11. Starting the fourth quarter, Brady hit Cade Otton for a 25-yard gain. Another third-down conversion later, the Bucs went up 21-3 thanks to a four-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Godwin.

The game was far from over, of course, as the Seahawks moved quickly to answer the Bucs’ score. Seattle finally found the end zone with 8:20 to go as Smith found Lockett for a 21-yard touchdown, capping off a five-play, 77-yard drive in just 2:28. But the two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete, keeping it at 21-9.

Tampa Bay killed some clock from there, but Brady threw Seattle a lifeline with a bad interception over the middle of the field with six and a half minutes to go. The Seahawks took full advantage, converting two fourth downs on their next possession. The second conversion was a 19-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Marquise Goodwin, drawing them within 21-16 with 3:58 to go.

Needing to put the game away with a strong drive, the Bucs did exactly that. A big completion from Brady to Godwin and some strong running from White allowed Tampa Bay to kill the clock and hold on for a 21-16 win.

Rachaad White and Devin White were the stories of the day. The rookie running back had his first career 100-yard rushing game, going for 105 yards on 22 carries. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, it was Devin White leading the way. He totaled nine tackles (eight solo), two sacks and a key forced fumble. It was an emotional day for the captain, who lost his father this week.

Brady threw for 258 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on 22-of-29 passing. Godwin found the end zone for the first time this season, posting six catches for 71 yards to go with the score. Jones caught Brady’s other touchdown pass and finished with three catches for 53 yards to go with his second score as a Buc. Fournette, who left with a hip injury in the second half, ran for 57 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.

The Bucs (5-5) now have their bye week before heading to Cleveland for a matchup with the Browns on Nov. 27.
