On the night that Tom Brady broke the NFL all-time passing yardage record and also gained some revenge over his former
team, it took a 56-yard FG attempt by former Buc Nick Folk hitting the post in the final minute for the Bucs to escape with a
win over the Patriots. The Bucs lost more DBs to injury and were playing short-handed even as the game started.
