VIDEO: Bucs QB Brady Implores Lifeless Teammates To Rally vs. 49ers

What was even more sad about the Bucs’ 35-7 destruction at the hands of the 49ers in Santa Clara, Calif. in Week 14 was the fact that quarterback Tom Brady was trying to lead his team and few teammates seemed ready to follow. Tampa Bay fell behind 7-0 early in the first quarter, but appeared to tie the game at 7-7 after the greatest quarterback of all time connected on a deep bomb to Mike Evans.

But a holding penalty on left tackle Donovan Smith negated that score and seemed to sink the Bucs’ ship early.

A newly released video by the Buccaneers reveals a mic’d up Brady was trying to get his teammates in the huddle and on the sidelines to rise to the occasion.

“Let’s go, boys,” Brady said. “Let’s go answer it right now. It’s going to be f*cking dogfight That’s why we’re f*cking here. Let’s go, boys. Come on. You want it? You got it. It’s right f*ucking right here. If you like football this is where you f*cking want to be. You guys got it?”

The Bucs’ team captain didn’t get any verbal feedback or visible support from his teammates in the huddle during the clip.
