Quoting from Andy Nesbitt’s column in the USAToday after the game:
Tom Brady had a rough night in Chicago.
He absolutely lost it on his offensive linemen after a dreadful drive that had about a million bad penalties.
He got sacked by Khalil Mack, who then tossed one of Brady’s lineman to the ground in celebration.
And then he capped off the 20-19 loss by losing track of downs on the Bucs’ final drive, thinking he still had fourth down coming up when in fact he had just thrown a long incompletion on the actual fourth down, which gave the Bears the win.
Oof.
It was a stunning mistake by the GOAT, which led to lots of jokes on Twitter. But hey, he’s 43 years old so he’s going to forget things from time to time. It happens. Even to amazing quarterbacks who have won six Super Bowls, I guess.
Oh, and he suffered another loss to Nick Foles, who beat him in a much bigger game a few years ago.

The last image we had of Tom Brady last night was of him sitting on the bench repeatedly slamming his helmet on the ground in disgust. Then the angry loser ran off the field to the locker room as soon as the final whistle sounded without giving Nick Foles the courtesy of a handshake. Nick was seen wandering around near midfiled looking for the MIA Brady.
