Fans get brutal over Tom Brady meltdown: ‘Ruined marriage to lose to Mitch Trubisky’
Tom Brady’s sideline meltdown in Sunday’s 20-18 loss to the Steelers has fans trolling the Buccaneers quarterback about his marriage.
With less than a minute left in the first half, Fox cameras caught a furious Brady yelling at his linemen as Tampa Bay trailed Pittsburgh, 10-6, at Acrisure Stadium.
Buccaneers fans took to Twitter after the loss to share the disappointment that Brady was defeated by Steelers backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky — and let Brady know that it’s not too late to try to save his marriage to Gisele Bündchen.
“Tom Brady ruined his marriage so he could lose to Mitch Trubisky,” one person tweeted. “There is still time Tom. Quit football and go to her.”
Warning: Explicit language
Trubisky led the Steelers to a victory after rookie starter Kenny Pickett suffered a concussion midway through the third quarter, when he took a hard hit from Buccaneers linebacker Devin White.
Trubisky, who was previously benched at halftime in Pittsburgh’s Week 4 loss to the Jets, completed nine of 12 attempts for 144 yards and a touchdown.
Fans were quick to troll Brady about the loss, but it was his marriage that became the butt of jokes.
Following a mysterious 11-day absence from training camp, Page Six reported last month that Brady and Bündchen have been at odds over the quarterback’s decision to un-retire from the NFL. Brady announced his return for a 23rd NFL season just 40 days after announcing his retirement.
“[Tom Brady] should have stayed home with your wife bud,” one person tweeted. “This is embarrassing.”
Another critic tweeted, “Just looking at your numbers here……….should’ve listened to the wife.”
NFL Twitter was also buzzing about Brady arriving in Pittsburgh the day before the game due to him attending the surprise wedding of his friend and former boss, Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Brady attended the New York City nuptials on Friday without Bündchen.
Brady, who went 25-for-40 on 243 yards against the Steelers, said the Bucs have “a lot to correct” after the loss.
Brady and Bündchen both have hired divorce lawyers after 13 years of marriage, and the couple has been living separately. They share two kids — son Benjamin, 12, and 9-year-old daughter Vivian — and they co-parent Brady’s son Jack, 15, from Brady’s previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Neither Brady nor Bündchen has publicly addressed divorce reports. The supermodel has yet to make an appearance at any of the quarterback’s games this season.
