- Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense have struggled to begin the year.
- After another slow start against the Steelers, Brady was seen yelling at his offensive linemen on the bench.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had another tough day on Sunday.
Facing the Steelers in Pittsburgh, the Buccaneers offense struggled to find its footing, managing just over 300 total yards in the game. Even when Tampa Bay could move the ball, the team struggled to finish in the red zone, with all three of its first-half scoring drives ending with a field goal.
As the final seconds of the first half ticked away, Brady was seen absolutely laying into his linemen on the sidelines.

It's not the first time this year we've seen Brady's frustrations boil over on the sidelines.
Back in Week 2, the quarterback was similarly seen yelling on the sidelines, and wound up breaking a tablet in a fit of anger.
"Remaining poised is really important," Brady said on his podcast, "Let's Go!" after that outburst. "I didn't do a very good job of that yesterday, and I've got to be really mindful of that going forward and getting my emotions in a good place so it allows me to be the best player I can be. There's a [point] where you can become too overly emotional, which I think I definitely was yesterday. I've got to find a better place to be at, so I can be at a better place for my teammates."
Clearly, Brady still has some work to do in that regard, because on Sunday, his emotions got the better of him once again.
The Steelers, who played both Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky at quarterback against the Buccaneers, scored a touchdown with 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter to take a 20-12 lead.
While Tampa Bay would mount a comeback, scoring a touchdown later in the quarter, the Bucs were unable to convert the two-point attempt to tie the game, and went on to lose 20-18.
The Buccaneers will get their chance to right the ship next week when they travel to Charlotte, North Carolina to play the 1-5 Panthers.
