Tom Brady has not been pleased with the New Orleans Saints' dominance over his team these last two seasons. With last night's 9-0 shutout loss, Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now lost four consecutive regular-season games to their NFC South divisional foe.
Brady's temper was in full effect on Sunday night when he was seen yelling at referees about calls he apparently felt were missed. After throwing an interception, Brady took the tablet he was reviewing and threw it behind a bench in frustration.
After being sacked four times, Brady ran toward the New Orleans Saints' sidelines, toward interim head coach Dennis Allen, yelling and apparently dropping the F-bomb.
After the game, Brady was asked about his actions towards the Saints' sideline and what exactly he said to them.

“Nothing. Just football.”-Tom Brady
Tom Brady says yelling at Saints' sideline was "just football"
Tom Brady was not happy last night. The 44-year old veteran quarterback has been known to show his temper in the past, but last night, his frustration against the New Orleans Saints seemed to boil over.
As Brady ran toward the Saints' sideline, it's pretty easy to believe that he wasn't saying "Happy Holidays." Instead, he was spewing expletives.
Brady was asked by the media, after the game, what he'd said to the Saints. Brady acted as if it wasn't a big deal and said that it was "just football."
But Brady's actions on Sunday night showed that it was't "just football."
Brady and the Bucs struggled against the Saints, which isn't good when it's a divisional team that they face twice a season.
But his frustration about not getting points on the board could be warranted. Brady hasn't been shutout since December 10, 2006.
To put that into perspective, he was 29 years old at the time.
The Buccaneers have one of the best offenses in the National Football League and are one of the teams with the highest yards per game (currently second behind Dallas) and points per game (currently number one), heading into Sunday night.
Tampa Bay's offensive line just couldn't hold back Cam Jordan and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who made their presence clearly known.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 10-4 and still hold the top spot in the NFC South. If Brady and the Buccaneers can pull off a divisional win on the road against the Carolina Panthers next week, they will finally be able to win the divisional title.
