Tom Brady admits to fourth-down confusion during Bears game in viral TikTok video

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 6/2/21

Tom Brady's social media game remains undefeated.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback admitted in a viral TikTok video that he was extremely confused when he threw an incomplete pass on what he thought was third down in a loss to the Chicago Bears last season. He held up four fingers with a confused look on his face, showing that he had just realized it was actually fourth down.

"You guys remember this one," Brady said. "Fourth quarter, last chance in Chicago. I thought it was the second-to-last chance in Chicago, but apparently not. I don't think I've ever been as confused as I am in this moment right here. Look at that face."

Tom learned how to use the green screen.

Brady and Bucs head coach Bruce Arians said after the game that the veteran signal-caller knew what down it was. Now that he won his seventh Super Bowl title, Brady finally appears comfortable admitting that he suffered a major mental lapse on that play.

The 43-year-old has been very active on social media this offseason. He roasted the Green Bay Packers' decision to kick a field goal while down seven points in the NFC Championship Game and even posted about his shirtless NFL Combine photo on the first day of the 2021 NFL draft.
