After a second half collapse by both sides of the ball, the Bucs found themselves in overtime needing a score to win. The game-winning drive included a close third down conversion by Fournette and a defensive pass interference call drawn by Mike Evans. On a 3rd-and-3 mesh concept, Brady saw Perriman get open out of the corner of his eye. He delivered a perfectly thrown pass and Perriman had one man to beat. The speedy wideout won the foot race to give the Bucs the victory on Brady’s 700th career touchdown pass.
