Bucs pull Tom Brady in Week 18; Blaine Gabbert in at quarterback

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have replaced starting quarterback Tom Brady with Blaine Gabbert for "non-injury reasons" in their Week 18 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

The Bucs have already guaranteed themselves a spot in the playoffs, so it is not overly surprising that the team would decide to cut Brady's day short. Blaine Gabbert will take over for Brady and will likely finish out today's game.

Brady will finish his day with 13 completions on 17 attempts, 84 yards, and 1 touchdown.
