WATCH: Tom Brady Gets Into A Heated Scuffle With Philadelphia Eagles Defensive End And Elbows Him
Tom Brady was once again in the thick of it, as Tampa Bay Buccaneers strolled to their fifth win of the season. They look dominant as ever, and have surely cemented themselves as their division’s top dog. Their veteran quarterback starred once again, but also got involved in a heated scuffle with Philadelphia Eagles’ Derek Barnett.

Let’s get the obvious facts out of the way. Every defensive player in the world dreams of sacking Tom Brady. They all want to put down the greatest of all time, but he isn’t going to make it easy for them. Brady has ruled the NFL for decades, and with that, the defenses of every single team he has faced. In his two decade-long career, Brady has beaten every single team in the NFL at least once.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers isn’t a rivalry to write home about, but Brady’s involvement made it a must-see match. And we received some must-see footage of the star quarterback getting into a little scuffle with Philadelphia Eagles’ Derek Barnett.

Brady threw a series of incomplete passes, followed by an interception. This left a bitter taste in his mouth, and he obviously did not want to be messed with. However, Barnett took a different approach and began pushing Brady for some reason. With the ball 50 yards away, getting rough with the QB is definitely odd.

However, this sparked quite the conversation on social media, with many claiming Brady should’ve received the rough treatment. “TB acts like he can’t be touched,” wrote one fan, something that seems both far-fetched and true at the same time. Irrespective of what side of the spectrum you are, we all enjoyed watching Brady try to elbow his way through Derek Barnett’s helmet.

Setting aside the scuffle, Tom Brady will rejoice as Tampa Bay Buccaneers look absolutely dominant. After destroying Miami Dolphins last week, many were certain the Eagles would also fall to their sword. However, the Philly outfit put on a resilient showcase; though it wasn’t resilient enough for Brady.
Unfortunately, Brady’s streak of passing yards without an interception broke today, after Anthony Harris picked off his pass cleanly. While he may no longer hold that record, some would be happy to see that Brady still has 0 turnover passes this season. He leads that table with Carson Wentz and Russell Wilson.
After dispatching the Eagles, Brady and the Buccaneers will face Chicago Bears in an intriguing match up. Fans will be excited to watch a veteran Tom Brady clash with the Bears’ rookie quarterback Justin Fields.
