Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady had a bit of a nightmare game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

Brady completed just 26-of-48 passes and threw a pair of interceptions, and his 62.5 quarterback rating was his second-lowest of the season.

The 43-year-old had some success throwing out routes and hitting receivers in the flats and seams, but he had trouble finding the target on deep balls.

Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians was asked about Brady's issue throwing the deep ball this year, though he believes the six-time Super Bowl champion is actually misreading coverage:

“Other than the deep ball, I think he’s getting confused a few times with the coverage,” Arians said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “That might be the cause for some inaccurate balls but I don’t see it at all in practice. We’re not missing the deep ball in practice, that’s for sure.”

Brady has long given off the appearance of being an ageless wonder who almost always finds a way to win regardless of situation or circumstance.

But Brady's individual performance throwing the ball in each of the last two years has led to some skepticism about his abilities.

Although he initially had some success with the deep ball early in the year, the Buccaneers veteran has since struggled with the home run ball. He is 0-for-19 in the last four weeks and just 3-for-36 since Week 5. The stats are ugly:

Brady failed to connect with Mike Evans on multiple occasions Monday night, and his second interception came on a blatant overthrow.

The Buccaneers have some of the most explosive offensive weapons in football. But they desperately need Brady to find a rhythm and show more comfort with the system if they hope to make a deep run.
