Tom Brady 'Used Abusive Language' to Draw Penalty vs. Rams, per Referee Shawn Hochuli

It's not very often the greatest quarterback in NFL history is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, but that is exactly what happened during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 30-27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

Official Shawn Hochuli explained why Tom Brady was flagged during the game and said the quarterback "got in my face in an aggressive manner and used abusive language. As for the hit, we did not think that it rose to the level of roughing the passer," per Greg Auman of The Athletic.
