Tom Brady slapped with fine by NFL for kicking opponent in Tampa Bay Buccaneers win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has been fined by the NFL after they deemed him guilty of kicking defensive end Grady Jarrett.

Brady was sacked in the fourth quarter in the Buccaneers win over the Atlanta Falcons, and appeared to kick out at Jarrett who brought him to the ground. As a result, the NFL has fined Brady $11,139 (£10,000) as it's his first offence of the season, meaning another would set him back $16,444 (£14,700).

Jarrett was also fined for roughing the passer, although his flag was seen as extremely soft at such a crucial point in the match. And Jarrett and Brady have since disagreed over whether the call was right.
