Quarterback Tom Brady's week was already off to an unfortunate start when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took a 31-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Now, the NFL interrupts his offseason with a $16,444 fine for attempting to trip safety Malik Hooker during the wild-card elimination, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
After the play, officials threw a flag for unnecessary roughness —on Bucs center Ryan Jensen. He drew the flag for tussling with defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. away from the ball. Brady wasn't penalized, and the game carried on without further fallout from the play. Jensen was reportedly fined $8,333.33.
Brady's fine was likely more than Jensen's because the seven-time Super Bowl champion has committed a similar offense this season. In October, he was fined $11,139 for kicking Atlanta Falcons lineman Grady Jarrett during a game Sunday. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were eliminated from the postseason after suffering a 31-14 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round Monday night at Raymond James Stadium.
Brady had a tough season and the Monday night loss represented his struggles. Tampa Bay failed to score a single point in the first half, and the veteran quarterback's performance led many to note that he“Kind of typical how we played all year — inefficient in the passing game, not very good in the run game, so, it’s hard to beat good teams like that,” Brady said after the loss.
