At least in part because of two first quarter interceptions thrown by Tom Brady, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were upset by the Washington Football Team Sunday, 29-19.
Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said that Brady was at fault with for both of his interceptions Sunday.
"That had nothing to do with the receivers, it was on him," Arians said of Brady after the game, according to Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times.
As Stroud noted, though, Arians' assessment seemingly isn't correct.
The first interception that Brady threw Sunday was pretty clearly rookie wide receiver Jaelon Darden's fault:
It will be interesting to see if after Arians has a chance to review today's game film if he makes a point of publicly acknowledging that Brady wasn't to blame for the first of his two interceptions Sunday. Then again, Brady is in his 22nd season and Darden is only 22 years old, so maybe Arians will keep his thoughts to himself.
For what it's worth, Brady did overthrow Mike Evans on his second interception Sunday:
After the loss, the defending Super Bowl Champion Buccaneers are 6-3. Brady, now 44, has thrown 27 touchdowns to seven interceptions in 2021.
