The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears faced off on Thursday night, a game that featured a rematch between quarterbacks Tom Brady and Nick Foles. The two men previously faced off during Super Bowl LII when they played for the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively. Foles secured the Lombardi Trophy while Brady drew attention for not shaking his opponent's hand. Thursday night, Brady once again ran off the field after the loss without taking part in the customary handshake.

When NFL fans saw the perceived snub, they reacted in a number of ways. Many called out Brady for "being rude" while others laughed about the entire situation. Twitter users expressed surprise about Brady still refusing to shake hands and said that it was a bad look for the six-time Super Bowl champion. A few people said that Brady was following "COVID-19 guidelines" but many others shot down this opinion by saying that the quarterback previously shook hands with Los Angeles Chargers rookie Justin Herbert.

Right.Did he forget there was a pandemic when he shook Herbert's hand last week after he won? Coulda still greeted Foles as he was waiting for him. Let's see how much he thinks about social distancing after he wins his next game 'cause that'll 100% debunk these sad covid excuses.

I'm sure it was because he was following the rules. Not because he lost sense of downs in the last series, which potentially cost his team an opportunity to put them in position to kick the winning FG

Brady will not shake Foles hand after a game out of respect. He knows that he isn’t on the same level as Foles.
