Tom Brady is famous for giving his offensive linemen lavish gifts for making him look good.
He was definitely not in a gift-giving mood Sunday.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback lit into his offensive line late in the first half after he unexpectedly struggled against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
It’s not clear exactly what Brady said, but his message and intent were: “Play much better!”

The Bucs trailed at halftime, 10-9, after entering the game as 9.5-point favorites. Brady in particular seemed poised for a huge game Sunday. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen lit up the Steelers for more than 300 yards in the first half alone last week, and Pittsburgh is without three starting defensive backs Sunday, leading to three DBs being called up from the practice squad.
Yet Pittsburgh held Brady to just 110 yards passing in the first half.
Brady got off to a slow start this season as injuries decimated his receiving corps, but as the team has gotten healthier, Brady has looked much better. He has passed for more than 350 yards each of the past two weeks. However, he raised some eyebrows by missing team activities Saturday after attending New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft‘s wedding Friday.
NFL fans had some fun with Brady’s sideline rant.

This is how a great quarterback motivates his team during the game. He doesn't wait for practice or a press conference. https://t.co/CBfzz5vhfC

Brady always acts like his OL isn't doing their job. Sometimes the other team's DL is better. Brady so dependent on a clean pocket. #NFL
