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.

The play caught wind on social media but did not really catch steam until later in the week. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said he did not see the kick and sidestepped questions about it.

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

"No one wants any missed calls. You don't want a missed pass interference call, you don't want a missed holding call, you don't want a missed illegal contact call. They don't want a call on them. I don't know, we're trying to eliminate every missed penalty? Every batter wants every strike called perfectly. I don't know how you do that," Brady said.

He then gave officiating crews the benefit of the doubt.
