The ' efforts to come back against the on Sunday were thwarted in part by a controversial third-down roughing-the-pa ser penalty against . Fans and analysts acro s the had no trouble calling the flag unnece sary, seeing as Falcons defensive lineman delivered a textbook takedown of the star quarterback, whose head made Greg Maddux Jersey no contact with either Jarrett or the field in the proce s. But referee Jerome Boger after Sunday's game that the only thing R.A. Dickey Jersey unnece sary about the situation was Jarrett's way of taking Brady to the ground."What I had," Boger said when asked why the tackle deserved a penalty, "was the defender grabbed the quarterback while he was still in the pocket, and unnece sarily threw him to the ground. That is what I was basing my decision ... upon." This was called roughing the pa ser PFF (@PFF) Asked whether his officiating crew was especially critical of those kinds of tackles in light of the ' recently suffering head and neck injuries Tyler Flowers Jersey on a sack in which he was swung down, Boger downplayed the po sibility: "No, not nece sarily."Jarrett's sack, in motion, had similarities to the hit that hurt Tagovailoa, but there was a key difference: Brady's head, again, never made any contact with either the defender hitting him, or the ground into which he was swung. Jarrett also avoided going high or low on the hit, embracing Brady's midsection for the tackle, then flinging him toward the gra s. Officials only flagged the Jose Ramirez Jersey hit after Brady, visibly frustrated by the sack, began complaining about its legality. The roughing-the Tom Glavine Jersey -pa ser penalty ended up extending the Bucs' fourth-quarter drive, despite the would-be sack threatening to get the ball back in the Falcons' hands, with Atlanta down six, and about three minutes left on the clock. Tampa Bay went on to win 21-15 and remain atop the NFC South.
