Not long after winning his seventh Super Bowl with a 31-9 win over Kansas City at Super Bowl LV on Monday AEDT, Bucaneers quarterback Tom Brady texted an apology to Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu for several fiery clashes on the field.<\/p>\n

In a chippy contest, there were quite a few instances of players getting heated. But tempers flared particularly when Brady and Mathieu went at each other in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Mathieu copped a penalty for pass interference in the end zone on and was seen pointing his finger in Brady's face. The two exchanged words with the 43-year-old then chasing Mathieu down to tell him something.<\/p>\n

Both men were separated as Mathieu was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/em> reports Brady texted Mathieu after the game saying he thought he was a "class act" and a "great leader" and said he wanted to aploogise to him in person but didn't get a chance to.<\/p>\n

Mathieu took to social media to explain his side of the story before deleting the tweet.<\/p>\n

The star known across the league as the "honey badger", claimed the the champion QB said "something I won't repeat" and in another tweet he said "he's clearly chasing me, but I got flagged."<\/p>\n

Mathieu admitted post-game that he was surprised by his interaction with the champion play-caller.<\/p>\n

"Listen, Tom Brady's a great quarterback," Mathieu said.<\/p>\n

"I never really saw that side of Tom Brady, to be honest. But whatever. No comment. It's over with. I'm done with it."<\/p>\n

As far as Brady's teammates, they were motivated by seeing him chase down a rival player.<\/p>\n

"I don't know what it does for him but for the guys around us, we love that s—," Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans said.<\/p>\n

"We love when it gets fiery and competitive. When [Brady] does that, he has a lot of guys to back him up."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
