Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu and Tom Brady had quite the spirited back-and-forth during the first half of Sunday's Super Bowl.
Following one of Brady's touchdown passes, Mathieu stuck his finger in Brady's face, which got him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The pair were jawing at each other for the majority of the half.
“I thought I played as hard as I can today,” Mathieu said after the game. “Listen, Tom Brady’s a great quarterback. 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.”
While that is what he said to the media, he took to social media and gave a difference tale, which was quickly deleted.
Mathieu claims Brady called him something he won't repeat.
Below is a screenshot of the deleted tweet.
Brady was not asked for comment on what happened after the game.
