“Tyrann Mattheiu…Poked The Bear That Is Tom Brady”: Stephen A. Smith Sounds Off On Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Back For Going After Buccaneers Star QB

Kansas City Chiefs defensive back Tyrann Mattheiu almost picked Brady off…almost. Brady didn’t seem to like Mattheiu’s attitude and took to throwing two more touchdown passes.

Brady and the Bucs lead 21-6 going into the second half.

Just received a message from a former @Patriots: “Tyrann Matthieu made the wrong move. He poked the bear that is @TomBrady. Brady is targeting him now. Going right after him.” Damn! This is something to see. @Chiefs are in a world of trouble. And btw….where is @PatrickMahomes?

Kansas City Chiefs Defensive Backs Being Too Aggressive?

The Chiefs defense is known for being smart and streamlined. They were anything but that in the first half against Tampa Bay.

Brady has had the benefit of receiving multiple pass interference and defensive holding penalties to advance the ball down the field. The Chiefs simply can’t be this undisciplined if they want to win the game.

Brady pounces on mistakes, and he’s going to take every one he gets. Currently, the Chiefs have 8 penalties. That’s not a good look for a team going against a quarterback who rarely ever makes mistakes.

According to @EliasSports The Buccaneers’ 6 first downs via penalty are already the most for a team in a #SuperBowl

Brady and Matheiu have been jawing all game long. Matheiu is known for being passionate and so is Brady. It remains to be seen if this battle leads to more.
