Tom Brady wasn’t happy with the effort of his wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on Brady’s red zone interception, so he let him know about.

Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien wasn’t happy with Brady’s decision making, so he told Brady to shut up. Brady said something back, and O’Brien then really lost it.

The Patriots offensive coordinator eventually had to be held back from Brady. Even Bill Belichick came over to intervene. Here’s the clip from NFL.com.

We’ve never seen anything quite like it, but the two men calmed down shortly thereafter to go over strategy for the rest of the game. The Patriots held on to win with a late interception, with O’Brian and Brady ultimately hugging it out when New England got the win.

That’s not going to stop plenty of questions about the incident during the week. We’re sure Bill Belichick will enjoy the line of questioning.
