While Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was frustrated following a dismal performance in Tampa Bay's 9–0 loss to the Saints, the seven-time Super Bowl winner had a strong response for wide receivers taking hits to their knees.
Brady spoke on the Let's Go! podcast on SiriusXM NFL radio, saying the league should eliminate hits to the knees of defenseless wide receivers. His response comes after Bucs wideout Chris Goodwin suffered a torn ACL from a hit in Sunday's game, removing him from the starting lineup for the remainder of the season.
“I've seen that hit too many times where a defenseless pass catcher is in the process of catching the ball and he's hit by the defender,” Brady said on the podcast.
