Every NFL team will pay for Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's rage. The league reportedly sent memos to all 32 teams before Week 3, warning them about breaking tablets after Brady smashed two of them during a Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints, per Fox's Jay Glazer.
Footage of Brady throwing, and likely breaking, one tablet was shown on the broadcast during Week 2.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Brady broke two tablets.
Tom Brady led Bucs to a win without top receivers
The Bucs won the game, but it was rough going for Brady. Both Chris Godwin and Julio Jones did not play in the contest due to injuries. Mike Evans did play, but was ejected for fighting. That left Brady with Russell Gage, Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman as the team's primary receivers. Perriman made the big play with Evans out, hauling in a 28-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.
Brady finished the contest 18 of 34 for 190 yards and one touchdown. Brady did not throw an interception, but did lose a fumble.
In his video after the game, Brady called it an "ugly" game.
