Everyone around the seller, including his wife, was cheering and celebrating the touchdown. Once Evans scored, there was quite a bit of room in the stands as a few fans had left early. They bought the tickets Saturday, the day before the game, and at the time they had no idea they would be watching Brady's final game, let alone catching his final touchdown ball. He and his wife had never been to a Buccaneers game, and it was his wife who talked him into buying tickets. The seller grew up in Michigan and moved to central Florida three years ago. "We stood around for a while while the players walked off the field, then I tucked it in my jacket and we just walked out like normal. "We stayed for the whole game and I just kind of held it like a baby and we watched them come back and lose," the seller told ESPN. The Bucs' staff retrieved the 600 ball and rewarded the fan, but no one from the staff asked for the ball back this time around.
Evans also had given away the ball Brady threw to complete his 600th touchdown pass earlier in the season. With 3:20 left in the divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught a pass from Brady and ran it in for a touchdown to put the Bucs within seven points of L.A.Īfter Evans scored, he tossed the ball into the crowd, not knowing at the time that it would be the last touchdown pass Brady would throw. A fan, who wishes to remain anonymous, caught the ball in the stands and now has a potentially huge pay day on his hands. The football Tom Brady threw to complete the last touchdown pass of his NFL career is going up for auction with Lelands on Sunday.
