What Happened To Tom Brady’s Lip?
During a pass play in the second quarter, Brady sustained a helmet-to-helmet hit from Rams defender Von Miller and injured his lips.
Brady’s bottom lip was bleeding when the dust settled, and he was injured on the face. The refs refused to throw the flag for roughing the passer, to Brady’s chagrin. Brady was also penalized when he started yelling at referee Shawn Hochuli.
Hochuli eventually tossed the flag, but it wasn’t the one Brady was looking for. Hochuli instead punished Brady with unsportsmanlike behavior, giving the Bucs a 15-yard penalty.
Regardless, the Bucs got a first down on the next play, but the drive ended with a missed field goal.
