Few players can get under Tom Brady’s skin. But Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is one of them. Jones said he has had a lot of practice, and he does what he can to irk opposing quarterbacks during gameplay — and between snaps.
He managed to get a rise out of Brady in Week 14 after the Chiefs brought him down with a sack. Jones had a few words for the quarterback. That led to a response from Brady, who bumped facemasks with Jones in their exchange of unpleasantries.
“You gotta understand — I talk a lot of [expletive] on the field. That was the first time I’ve ever seen Tom Brady get mad at a defensive lineman, when I talked [expletive] to him,” Jones said on Bartsool’s “Pardon My Take,” as transcribed by CBS Boston.
What did Jones do to bug Brady?
“That’s part of the game, man. I feel like especially quarterbacks … you know, quarterbacks and D-line, that’s two different types of class. So when you’re able to clash up, you talk your [expletive],” Jones explained. “You say how you feel to him. If he on the ground, you call him an old-[expletive] mother [expletive] . Or, ‘Get your old [expletive] up.’ [Or], ‘You need to [expletive] retire.’ So any time I’m able to say anything to a quarterback after I hit him – I don’t even have to hit you. I’ll just come to you and talk [expletive].”
Did he use that line on Brady?
“I mean, along those words. And Brady got up so [expletive] fast, that’s the quickest I’ve ever seen Brady move,” Jones said, while boasting that he became the rare player to get Brady to lose his cool.
