In a frustrating loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL quarterback Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dropped to 3-3 on Sunday.
The game was frustrating for the Bucs as they could not get anything together and the communication seemed off between them. On the sideline, the star quarterback was caught yelling expletives at his teammates, which has been shared to social media various times.

Pro Bowler Thomas Jones Speaks Out On Brady's Meltdown
When speaking to TMZ Sports, Jones was asked about Brady's meltdown and explained that emotions can take over during the sport. "It happens with everybody," he said. "Football is a very emotional game, very emotional game, and if you're not playing with emotion, then you shouldn't be out there, because that means you probably don't want to win."
The 44-year-old continued to stand up for Brady, saying, "That happens all the time. I know when people see it on TV and when they get clips of it, sometimes it's out of context, that's the nature of the game. That's the nature of the emotions of the game."
He concluded by saying, "That's definitely not Tom Brady's first time and definitely not his last time."
Tom Brady's Sideline Meltdown
The NFL star quarterback was caught on camera, yelling at his offensive line during Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“You’re so much better than the way you’re f***ing playing,” Brady reportedly said in the heated moment, which was caught by FOX’s live broadcast.
Fans could not make out everything Brady said, but the heated incident has since gone viral.
Brady went 25/40 and threw for 243 yards and one touchdown in the 20-18 loss against the Steelers. In a postgame news conference, Brady said, “We all got to do a better job.”
Tom Brady Deals With Issues Off-Field
After 13 years of marriage, Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bündchen, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady, are seemingly going their separate ways as reports confirmed they both hired their own divorce lawyers.
In addition, both Brady and Bündchen have been spotted recently without their wedding rings.
The divorce is very hard on Brady. “Think about it: Tom has had a very charmed life,” one source admitted. “Things always seem to go his way. He works hard, he’s a good guy, he hasn’t had a lot of things go wrong in his life. This is awful for him. You can tell that this really, really hurts.”
The speculation that the couple was dealing with some issues first began when Tom Brady unexpectedly took an 11-day break from training camp in August due to “personal reasons.” After Brady returned to training camp from his 11-day absence, he released a statement saying, “Everyone has different situations they’re dealing with, and we all have unique challenges to our lives. I’m 45 years old, man.”
Since the NFL season began, Bündchen has not attended one of Brady’s football games, and the two are reportedly living separately.
