Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach Todd Bowles said Monday there was no “worry” about any possible perception that quarterback Tom Brady gets treated differently than other players on the team.
On Monday, after being pressed further by reporters about potential discontent among fans or teammates over Brady’s perceived “special treatment,” Bowles replied: “He works as hard as anybody. ‘Special treatment’ — there have been a few guys that have missed meetings and some practices for some special thing that just doesn’t get publicized because they’re not him. It just kind of comes with the territory. You don’t worry about it too much.
During the loss to the previously 1-4 Steelers, who lost starting quarterback Kenny Pickett to the concussion protocols but got a good relief performance from backup Mitchell Trubisky, Brady was shown at one point yelling at members of his offensive line.
