Tom Brady defeated his former team, the New England Patriots, on Sunday Night Football and he didn’t feel particularly good about it.
Yes, it was a milestone night with Brady moving into first place all-time in passing and becoming the latest quarterback to defeat all 32 teams, but there were still some strong emotions there.
On Monday, Brady was asked about dropping Belichick & Co. and during his answer, explained that while he doesn’t like beating the Pats, he does love beating the New York Giants.
“The team I would love to beat the most is the Giants, there’s no doubt about that, because they’ve taken away some really, you know,” Brady told Let’s [Expletive Deleted] Go! before trailing off. “I’ve always joked with Eli [Manning] but, yeah, and I think he likes that I bring it up all the time. So to bring it up again, I do not like losing to those guys, so when we beat them I love that.”
The Giants have been a consistent thorn in the side of Brady since Day 1. Not only have they defeated him twice in the Super Bowl, they’ve played him tough in the regular season, too.
But despite those close games, Brady has amassed a 5-1 record against the Giants with three of those victories coming by a combined six points.
Brady will get another shot at the Giants in a few short weeks when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host Big Blue on Monday Night Football (November 22).
