Tom Brady And Lamar Jackson Exchange Pleasantries At Midfield After The Game

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady didn’t forget to give credit where it was due Sunday night. The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Patriots at M&T Bank Stadium. Lamar Jackson owned the game. He had 61 yards with 2 touchdowns on 16 carries, and completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 163 yards and a score. You can’t ignore that. Brady didn’t.

The great Tom Brady and the second-year quarterback met after the game, and exchanged pleasantries. TB12 praised Lamar for his incredible game.

“Great game, dude. You played great,” Brady said. “Congratulations.”

“Appreciate that,” Jackson responded. “The GOAT.”

The Ravens were better prepared, and their offense was excellent. Devin McCourty addressed Jackson’s electric performance during the post-game press conference.

“I think overall it was their whole offense. We knew they had one of the best running attacks in the NFL,” he said. “They were really able to run the ball, and I think because we struggled to stop the run, that pretty much gave them control of the game. Possessions, down and distance; they got to be comfortable all game. We got them in a couple third-and-longs, and we were able to get off the field, but for the majority of the game, they were able to play on their terms. That’s what probably hurt us the most; just [not] having control of the game.”

Tom Brady will handle Lamar Jackson next time

Jackson is undoubtedly an excellent signal-caller, but the Patriots aren’t afraid of him. Former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi says the Pats needed to lose this game to get ready for the playoffs.

“Each week, you’re going to get a challenge,” the safety said. “Whether we play a team that runs the ball well or throws the ball averaging 400 yards a game, we’ve got to be able to understand what they do well and try to stop them. It’s a week-by-week thing. This week, it didn’t work out. We didn’t win, but after the bye, we have the Eagles, so we’ve got to watch them and see what they do well and how to stop them. If we don’t do those things, it’s going to be the same result. I don’t care who you play, you have to figure them out and put in the work that week and try to go out there and play well. We can’t think we’re going to fix every problem we’ve had during the season, during the bye week; it just doesn’t work like that. I think if it did, you’d see a lot of better football teams.”
