The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without the services of star wide receiver Chris Godwin, who suffered a torn ACL after a low hit from New Orleans Saints safety P.J. Williams. 

Not surprisingly, Bucs quarterback Tom Brady wasn't thrilled, and called for the NFL to legislate such hits out of the game. 

“Chris got hit in the knees yesterday which is a play I think they ought to take out of the game of football from a receiver standpoint,” Brady said on his weekly SiriusXM Podcast . “You know, I’ve kind of talked to the [NFL Players Association] about it for a while, and I’d like to speak to the Competition Committee at some point this offseason. I’ve seen that hit too many times where a defenseless pass-catcher is in the process of catching the ball and then he’s hit by the defender. And a lot of the defenders will say, ‘Well, we can’t hit them in the head anymore.’ Well, the point is you can’t hit anyone in the head anymore. You can’t hit anyone in the knees anymore except for receivers, because you can still hit them in the knees.”

Not long after, it was Micah Parsons, the frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of the Year for the Dallas Cowboys, who took to social media to express his disagreement with Brady's sentiments.

“Lol so let’s stop playing tackle football?” Parsons wrote along with including a laughing face emoji.
