Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady mostly had his way against the overmatched Eagles defense on Thursday Night Football.

But on one of his few forgettable plays of the game, his infamous temper seemed to get the better of him.

The future Hall of Famer seemed to throw an elbow to the face mask of Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett during a testy exchange late in the first half.

The chippy display unfolded after Brady threw an interception, his first in over 200 passing attempts.

Barnett rushed toward Brady in an apparent attempt to block him from tackling the ballcarrier. The 44-year-old didn't seem to appreciate the Barnett's shoving, responding with a forearm shiver.

A nearby official tried to break up the scrum, while center Ryan Jensen came to Brady's defense and fended off Barnett.

No penalty was called on the play.

Fox announcers Joe Buck and Troy Aikman briefly commented on the incident, with Aikman saying it was "pretty funny."

The doomed series -- marked by two incompletions and the pick -- was one of the few duds for Brady in any otherwise strong performance.
