NFL fines Buccaneers QB Tom Brady for kicking Falcons' Grady Jarrett

The NFL informed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady on Friday that he is being fined $11,139 for kicking Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett during Sunday's game. 

The kick happened on the same play where Jarrett was flagged for roughing the passer when he sacked Brady and swung him to the ground.

It is one of the many controversial roughing the passer calls that has been the topic of discussion in the NFL over the past couple of weeks. It also played a large role in Tampa Bay's 21-15 win, as it allowed Tampa Bay to maintain possession of the ball and not give Atlanta a chance to take the lead.

The NFL has defended many of the controversial calls and sent out a video to all 32 teams this week explaining why they have happened. 

Had Jarrett not been flagged, the sack would have created a fourth-and-long situation for Tampa Bay that would have resulted in a punt and given Atlanta the ball back with enough time for a potential game-winning drive. 

Here is a look at the entire play and kick sequence.
