Nothing is going right for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offense – even their best players.
Tom Brady and Co. had a chance to turn that around early in their Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The seven-time Super Bowl champion dropped back in the opening minutes and heaved a pass for star receiver Mike Evans, who was well past the Carolina defense.

It was the eighth straight time Tampa Bay had failed to score a first-quarter touchdown, marking the longest such streak of Brady’s career.
