The Buccaneers were able to tie the game by breaking up a two-point conversion. It was 0: 36.
Brate was taken off the field on a stretcher after a helmet-to-helmet hit in the third quarter of the game.
Brate had a neck injury and was being evaluated at a hospital, according to the coach.
Brate, who was in his first game back after suffering a concussion two weeks ago against the Kansas City Chiefs, collided with Jack, who hit the top of Brate's head.
The tight end was attended to by the training staff of the Buccaneers. The benches were cleared for both teams to gather around Brate.
Brate was able to give a thumbs up as he left the field, as the Buccaneers said he was able to move all his limbs.
Two weeks ago in Week 4, the team's handling of concussions came under scrutiny when Brate appeared to take a hit to the head just before halftime. Brate wasn't showing signs of a concussion until the second half, because he was complaining of shoulder pain.
There was an investigation by the National Football League and the firing of an independent neurologist after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was injured against the Buffalo Bills. He left the "Thursday Night Football" game against Cincinnati with a head injury.
