A critical dispute happened at the Week 5 game that sparked the internet. After that moment, Atlanta’s efforts to take down Tampa Bay went to waste. The Falcons’ defense faced a third down roughing the passer penalty on Tom Brady, which allowed an opening for the Buccaneers. However, the NFL Universe erupted with questions and showcased their displeasure upon TB12’s call.

Tom Brady took a snap and scanned the zone for an open man. Atlanta’s Defensive Tackle, Grady Jarrett, slipped through the OL and got a swing at the star quarterback. He brought TB12 down and flipped him over, making it look like a sack.

However, head referee Jerome Boger marked Grady Jarrett for roughing the passer. The referee made the call after a quick conversation with his crew. The video of the play is all over social media platforms, and a lot of scrutinies is coming forward. The readers could also witness Tom Brady trying to kick DT Jarrett after the sack, which is piling up more disgrace.

After the game, head official Jerome Boger spoke to the media after the Sunday game. He pointed out that the useless aspect of the incident was Grady Jarrett’s method of dragging Tom Brady to the ground. But Boger ruled out the notion that they are more critical of such hits considering the Tua Tagovailoa incident.
