Tom Brady rips Justin Herbert over ‘meatball sub’ interception vs Bills

Tom Brady has introduced a new term to football commentary, this time referring to an interception as a "meatball sub" during the Los Angeles Chargers' game against the Buffalo Bills. While the Chargers led 13-0 in the fourth quarter, Justin Herbert threw a crucial interception that led to the Bills scoring a touchdown and taking the lead.

The interception drew criticism from Brady, who pointed out the poor awareness and decision-making of the safety who caught the ball, comparing it to serving a "meatball sub." The term quickly gained traction, with Drake Maye also being accused of serving up meatball subs after throwing two interceptions. The term's origins can be traced back to a Reddit thread discussing its meaning, and it may have been derived from the baseball term "meatball," which refers to an easy-to-hit pitch.
