Tom Brady was asked his thoughts on the controversial roughing the passer penalty in the Falcons-Bucs game.
In the fourth quarter of the Falcons-Bucs game, Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett was called for a crucial roughing the passer penalty that nay have decided the game.
This may be the WORST roughing the passer penalty I’ve ever seen. Embarrassingly bad call. The Falcons got screwed.

Fans weren’t happy with the call and blasted the refs on social media.
I know we overreact to penalty calls. But the roughing the passer called on Grady Jarrett against Tom Brady was one that legitimately makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the sport. It was a routine tackle.

What? Of course he does. Whenever he looks at the official, they throw a flag. https://t.co/FDVqiKzOTK
