Tom Bradys subpar performance vs. short-handed Steelers defense by the numbers

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers struggled to a 20-18 road lo s vs. the Steelers on Sunday, dropping Tampa Bay to 3-3 on the season.While credit must be given to the Steelers, Brady's performance was certainly lacking. The Buccaneers had four three-and-outs on offense and punted five times in all. Brady didn't throw his first touchdown until Tampa Bay's last drive, after which Pittsburgh ran out the final 4:38.Brady completed 25 of 40 pa ses (62.5 Wenyen Gabriel Jersey percent) for 243 yards (6.1 yards per attempt) and the one touchdown, against a Steelers defense that was without T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and their top three corners.Brady was also outperformed by Pittsburgh backup Mitch Trubisky, came on for Kenny Pickett (concu sion protocol). Trubisky completed 9 of 12 pa ses for 144 yards and one touchdown.MORE:Brady's frustrations came to a head in the first half as he was . The unit surrendered two first-half sacks despite zero blitzes by the Steelers.Tom Brady had some words for his o-line : (@sportingnews) "It's all Steven Adams Jersey of us. It's the whole offense. We have to do a better job the run game, the pa s game, everyone's got to do a better job. Obviously there's no position that's performing at an elite level right now," Brady said in his postgame pre s conference.A breakdown of key stats from Brady's game:The Bucs were just 4 for 14 on third down Sunday and had four three-and- Jaxson Hayes Jersey outs. Tampa Bay converted just twice on Brady throws. In addition to the 4-for-9 pa sing (for just 37 yards), Brady took a sack on another conversion attempt.This was Brady's third game this season with fewer than 250 pa sing yards. He threw for 212 yards in a Week 1 win over the Cowboys and 190 yards in a Week 2 win over the Saints. It also marks the fourth time this year he has thrown for fewer than 300 yards in a game. He threw for 271 yards in a Week 3 lo s to the Packers.Brady's rating was his third-lowest in 16 career games against Pittsburgh. That contributed to fourth career lo s vs. the George Hill Jersey Steelers in 16 meetings. After starting 10-2 against them, he is 2-2 in his last four appearances.The Buccaneers scored all four times they were in the red zone, but just one was a touchdown: Brady's 11-yard pa s to Leonard Fournette E'Twaun Moore Jersey on the Bucs' final drive. Ryan Succop kicked three field goals.Brady was for 4 for 10 for 25 yards In the red zone. That doesn't include a failed 2-point attempt to tie the game after the TD pa s to Fournette."It's a game of scoring points. Just didn't do well enough on third-down and short-yardage situations and certainly not well enough in the red area," Brady said.
