Tom Brady leads all NFL quarterbacks with an astounding 41 fourth-quarter comebacks. The Washington Football Team must have been keenly aware of this as its offense took the field with 10:55 left Jim Zorn Jerseys in the fourth quarter, nursing a 23-19 lead.

Brady took just 1 minute, 37 seconds to score on the Buccaneers' previous offensive po se sion and their last meaningful one of the game. He droveTampa Bay 47 yards in three plays after a Dax Milne fumble, capping the drive with a 40-yard touchdown throw to Mike Evans. The score put the Bucs within a po se sion of taking the lead.

That was the scenario Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke faced as he and the Seattle Seahawks Pet Gear offense took the field. The unit which to that point had only 240 yards of total offense and that costly turnover responded with an 80-yard, 19-play touchdown drive that took an astounding 10:26 off the clock. By the time running back Antonio Gibson punched it in from a yard out, Brady had a mere 29 seconds to score 10 points: that's too much, even for him.

Here is the final Jake Curhan Jerseys play of the drive, Gibson's touchdown to make the score 29-19:

With that, Sporting News breaks down the drive that destroyed any hope Brady and the Bucs had of completing yet another heartbreaking comeback:

Any drive that takes 19 plays is impre sive. But Washington's was even more incredible for the simple reasonthe Buccaneers committed zero drive-extending penalties. (Conversely, in just the last two weeks, we've seen multiple drives extended becauseof penalties, including in ,and ). Steve Largent Jerseys

Credit to Tampa Bay for playing a relatively clean final po se sion. Credit also to Heinicke and Co. for completing the drive without the need for official interference.

Heinicke went a perfect 6 for 6 through the air in the drive, completing pa ses to five different receivers: Jerron McKi sick, Terry McLaurin, John Bates, Tyler Lockett T Shirts Adam Humphries and Gibson. He accounted for overhalf the yardageon the drive with 43 pa sing yards and two scrambles for 5yards. He also converted two third-down attempts with his pa ses. Speaking of which . . .

4 for 5

Washington went an impre sive 4 for 5 on third-down attempts during the drive, including three straight in Tampa territory. The longest distance to gain was 5 yards. Below are the third-down attempts they faced en route to the end zone:

The only failed third-down attempt was the last one of the drive, where Gibson came up a yard short of the goal line. Benson Mayowa Jerseys WFT coach Ron "Riverboat" Rivera made perhaps his biggest gamble of the game, electing to go for it on the lone fourth-down attempt of the drive. The bet paid off as Gibson scored to give WFT the insurmountable lead.

Credit goes to Gerald Everett Jerseys Heinicke for his efficient final drive (he finished the game completing 26 of 36pa ses for 256 yards and a score), but Gibson was also instrumental, rushing nine times for 30yards. That includes a stretch of five plays in which he rushed four times (including one third-down conversion) and four straight rushes to end the drive, including the touchdown.

You don't pull off clock-killing drives with tons of explosive plays, but it was still surprising to see the longest gain of the drive was a 16-yard completion to McLaurin. The completion came on the fourth play of the drive with Washington facing first-and-10 at its own 31. It was the only play of 10 John Reid Jerseys yards or more. The second-longest plays of the drive were 6-yard completions from Heinicke to; McKi sic, Bates and McLaurin, respectively.

14

That's how many plays took place in Bucs territory: 14 of 19 on the Chris Carson Jerseys drive, or 73.7 percent. For those counting at home, that's an average of 3.5 yards per play. Not exactly impre sive, but just enough for Washington to walk out of FedExField with the victory in hand.
