Tom Brady reportedly received a fine for kicking Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett during the controversial sack that ended up being called for roughing the passer.
Brady received an $11,139 fine for the kick, ESPN reported Friday.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback’s response to Jarrett’s sack went relatively unnoticed because of the penalty on Jarrett that prolonged the team’s drive and essentially ended any chance of the Falcons getting once more try to win the game.

Brady was asked about the officiating in his media availability with reporters on Thursday.

He then gave officiating crews the benefit of the doubt.
