Tom Brady finally admitted he was 'confused' on one of the most embarrassing plays of his career

• Tom Brady finally owned up to his biggest mistake of the 2020 NFL season.
• In a loss to the Bears, Brady had forgotten the down and mistakenly cost his team the game.
• In a TikTok video, Brady looked back on the play and admitted he was "confused" in the moment.

Tom Brady has finally admitted he was "confused" on one of the worst plays of his career.

In a video posted to TikTok, Brady addressed what were likely his best and worst plays of his debut season with the Buccaneers.

First, Brady went through his touchdown pass to Scotty Miller just before halftime of the NFC Championship game. The bold play helped the Buccaneers take a 21-10 lead into halftime, and they would go on to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.

"No risk it, no biscuit!" Brady said.

But after celebrating the good, Brady was brave enough to acknowledge the bad.

In an October game against the Chicago Bears, Brady attempted to lead the Buccaneers to a dramatic comeback late in the fourth quarter, only to completely blow the game when he forgot what down it was.

With Tampa Bay facing a fourth-and-5 with the game on the line, Brady sat in the pocket and attempted to thread the needle to tight end Cameron Brate.

The pass was broken up, and the Bears took over possession to seal the game - a fact that everyone on the field seemed to know except for Brady.

After the play, Brady held up four fingers in disbelief, having thought the previous play was just third down and that the Buccaneers had one more shot at picking up the first down. He was wrong.

In his TikTok post, Brady acknowledged that he had not realized the situation on the play, something he was coy about admitting to after the game.

"You guys remember this one?" Brady asked, joking with his TikTok audience. "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."

Brady doesn't make many mistakes, and it's easy to imagine why he had been defensive about the play in its immediate aftermath.

But considering the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, Brady has no reason to shy away from any moment of the 2020 season anymore.
