So much so, that a trash talk moment turned into a full-on brawl on the field, leading to Brady losing his last top-tier receiver in Mike Evans.

The penalties have started a debate on social media. And this issue will surely reverberate for a long time in the NFL community. Brady did not get ejected for his involvement, but then again, he physically did not get involved.
