The Buccaneers 21–15 win over the Falcons on Sunday saw one of the most controversial penalties of the season thus far.
On a crucial third down play by the Buccaneers, Atlanta defensive tackle Grady Jarrett sacked quarterback Tom Brady, in what looked like a clean shot. However, the officials called a roughing the passer penalty on Jarrett, leading to the Buccaneers keeping the ball and eventually winning the game.
While Falcons coach Arthur Smith and Jarrett have spoken out about the controversial call, Atlanta defensive coordinator Dean Pees stayed quiet about his thoughts on the situation.
