Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu got into a heated exchange with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady after a number of crucial mistakes has given the Bucs a 21-6 lead going into halftime.
Mathieu caught an interception late into the second quarter but the penalty was canceled out by a holding call drawn by teammate Chavarius Ward. Brady would finish that drive with a touchdown pass to Rob Gronkowski to increase the lead to 14-3.
