Tampa Bay was aiming to get in field goal range. Brady stayed on the field and proceeded to hold up four fingers a sign that the team had one more opportunity to gain the crucial yardage for the field goal kicker."Broken up on third down," Brady said in jest. "What's the next play? Fourth down? I thought what happened on third down was the incompletion to Cam Brate."The Bucs did not return to Chicago for another game in Brady's ensuing seasons. Although nearly five years have passed, Brady admitted he was not pleased with his actions from that moment."I kind of couldn't believe it that I forgot," Brady said. "I think I actually clocked a ball. That was a bad mess-up. Bad for the quarterback to know what down it is, that's for sure.""If they gave us a fifth down, I maybe would've converted on fourth down and moved the sticks," he added.Despite the slip up, Brady's first season away from the New England Patriots ultimately turned out successful. He hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the seventh time in his career, leading the Buccaneers to victory in Super Bowl LV.The Cowboys-Bears game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX on Sept. 21.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
