Tom Brady could be fined by NFL for kicking opposition defender after being sacked

The NFL has examined an incident between Tom Brady and Grady Jarrett to see if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback kicks out at the Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle, and he could be fined.

The Buccaneers suffered a late scare during their clash with the Falcons, as they saw their 21-point lead reduced to just six in the final quarter. They held on to win to get back to winning ways, but Brady looked frustrated as he was sacked by Jarrett during the match.

The pair fell to the floor, and a flag was thrown for roughing the passer. But it appeared that Brady kicked out on his way up, and he could be fined as a result.
