The star's return to the football field following the holiday did not go as he expected, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing a game to the Cleveland Browns 17-23 on Sunday in Cleveland, Ohio.

Though his team has faced quite a few ups and downs throughout the latest football season, Sunday's loss marks his first since his shocking divorce.

Throughout the game, Tom achieved two touchdowns and no interceptions, and the Bucs had a 17-10 lead halfway through the third quarter, though the two teams tied close to the end, taking them to overtime, and the Browns won with 19 seconds left.

Not only is it the quarterback's first loss since his divorce, but it marks the end of an impressive streak from the last decade, in which, per CBS Sports: "Brady was 218-0 when up seven or more points heading into the final two minutes of regulation."

Prior to the loss, the father-of-three had opened up about his Thanksgiving plans, and though he did not hint as to whether Gisele would be a part of them, he maintained his gratitude for both his family and his decades-long football career.
