NFL are reviewing a slide by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during the AFC Championship Game in which he appeared to make a kicking motion directed at Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed, according to an ESPN.com report.

Brady slid following a scramble run in the final minute of the first half. One leg was raised and hit Reed, who wasn’t hurt. Ravens safety Bernard Pollard called Brady out and said he should be fined.

He told reporters, “If you want to keep this going in the right direction, everyone should be penalized for their actions.”
