Tom Brady continued to downplay the controversial roughing the passer call he benefited from in a Week 5 game against the Falcons. 

During his media availability on Thursday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback said bad calls from referees are going to happen in sports. 

"It’s just the way sports are. I miss throws, refs miss calls, we try to do the best we can do. When they don’t go your way you just complain to the refs, like I do," a smiling Brady said.

Brady was a part in one of the two questionable roughing calls in Week 5.

The controversial call involving Brady came late in the fourth quarter of the Falcons-Buccaneers game when Atlanta had just mounted a comeback and trailed 21-15.

On 3rd down from the Atlanta 47-yard line, Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett tackled Brady and presumably forced a Buccaneers punt. The Falcons could have had possession of the ball with a chance to score a touchdown and win the game.

But official Jerome Boger threw a penalty flag and ruled the hit was a roughing the passer foul, giving the Buccaneers a fresh set of downs. The Bucs ultimately ran out the clock and won the game.
