Tom Brady struggled as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Los Angeles Rams 27-24 in the NFL on Monday.
Brady completed 26 of 48 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns, but the Buccaneers quarterback also threw two interceptions and was sacked once at Raymond James Stadium.
The Rams improved to 7-3 and went top of the NFC West, while the Buccaneers are 7-4 and sit second to the New Orleans Saints (8-2) in the NFC South.
Rams quarterback Jared Goff was 39 of 51 for 376 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, while Cooper Kupp (145) and Robert Woods (130) both had more than 100 receiving yards.
In the end, Goff led a late drive that saw Matt Gay convert a field goal with less than three minutes left, before Brady was intercepted to end the Buccaneers' chances.
Goff picked out Woods to complete a 13-play, 80-yard drive and give the Rams a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Buccaneers responded early in the second quarter, Mike Evans showcasing his power to score after a pass from Brady.
Leonard Fournette rushed over from two yards for the Buccaneers before Van Jefferson scored his first career TD after a pass from Goff to bring the Rams level.
The Rams would go into half-time ahead, Goff and Woods combining for 35 yards to set up Gay's 38-yard field goal.
Since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017, the Rams were 31-0 (now 32-0) when leading at half-time. They are the only undefeated team in such games over that span, with every other having at least two losses, as per NFL Research.
After Ryan Succop's 38-yarder made it 17-17, Gay missed from 44 yards before Brady was easily intercepted by Jordan Fuller.
The Rams capitalised as Goff found Cam Akers for his first career NFL TD.
But Goff was intercepted by Jordan Whitehead to give the Buccaneers an opportunity they would not waste, Chris Godwin diving into the endzone after a 13-yard pass from Brady with less than four minutes remaining.
That score again saw Brady pass Drew Brees for the most passing touchdowns in NFL history, moving onto 566.
Goff led an eight-play, 53-yard drive to putt Gay in position for a 40-yard field goal with two minutes, 40 seconds remaining, and Brady was intercepted by Fuller again as the Rams saw out their win.
