Tom Brady Appears to Hit Bradley Roby in Crotch on Attempted Tackle After INT During Pats-Texans
By Chris Pyo
We know Tom Brady isn't going to risk his body making a tackle on an opposing defender, but come on, you can't be hitting guys there!
The Patriots quarterback threw an interception late in the first quarter against the Houston Texans and made a futile attempt to tackle Bradley Roby, giving some slick internet sleuths the opportunity to grab a screenshot of Brady's hand right on Roby's crotch.

That's not exactly the best look there for Brady, even though he's not exactly known for his athletic prowess, aside from that beautiful right arm of his. In that moment, he wasn't exactly using his right arm to sling a football.

In real time, it looks like Brady was trying to strip Roby of the ball, which was never going to happen, though it was a smart idea. That set up a 14-yard touchdown from Deshaun Watson to Duke Johnson Jr. and put the Texans up 7-3 at home.
Brady should get some tackling lessons from his guys on defense; there's a reason why they're considered to be a top unit in the NFL.
