It turns out Tom Brady isn’t a big jerk after all.
A Vine circulated social media after the New England Patriots beat the Houston Texans 27-6 on Sunday night, and it appeared to show the quarterback ignoring Houston defensive end J.J. Watt’s attempt to get a handshake.

However, that’s not how it happened. It’s unclear whether that was right after Brady and Watt shook hands or if they caught up later, but there is photographic evidence that Brady didn’t actually snub Watt.
