When Tom Brady decided to end his retirement after just 40 days and come back for his 23rd NFL season, he certainly didn't envision it going like this. The\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>\u00a0went into the season as one of the Super Bowl favorites in the NFC. However, the team is now 3-5 and 10th in the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of these struggles come down to one simple thing.\u00a0Tom Brady and the Buccaneers<\/a>\u00a0offense is historically bad on third down right now, and that's why the team is not winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers have a 3rd-down problem<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

the Bucs have been forced into 50 third-and-longs

FIFTY

they've converted just 5 into 1st downs

FIVE

5-of-50. 10%

not just WORST in the NFL this year...

the WORST rate for any team in any season since at least 2000

must call better plays & be more efficient on early downs
