Tom Brady and the Buccaneers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in Germany on Sunday.
Leonard Fournette threw a pass intended for Brady that was thrown away.
Brady said he tried to stop the play before the snap.
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers won their second game in a row on Sunday, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 21-16.
The game was not without its stumbles, one of which was Brady's attempt at a trick play.
Brady and the rest of the team decided to play for the fans in Germany.
Running back Leonard Fournette was going to take a direct shotgun snap from the center as Brady lined up as a wide receiver.
After faking a run and throwing the ball in Brady's direction, Fournette popped back up and threw the ball in the air.
Things began to fall apart quickly.
The only man with a chance to make a play on the ball was Woolen. Fournette got the first pick of his career when he caught the ball.

Adding insult to injury, Brady was called for tripping on the play, which resulted in the extra 10 yards.
The play ended in hilarious fashion, but it's not surprising that the Buccaneers tried for it.
Seattle left Brady completely uncovered on a previous wildcat play so that Fournette could take the direct snap.

On that play, Fournette rushed for a short gain, but it appears that the Buccaneers thought they might be able to pull a fast one on the Seattle.
Brady said that he probably was on the first one. I tried to yell "Lenny, no!" when they told me to cover him on the second one.
It was too late, and the ball went up in the air, and I was trying to knock it down, but I fell on my face.
Brady said that the play would have been enjoyable. I have had a few catches. I never had a touchdown.
It all worked out in Brady's favor. On the very next drive, Brady connected with Chris Godwin for a touchdown strike that gave them enough breathing room to hold on for the victory.
