Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes eventually lost to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers by one at “The Match.”

Things came down to the final hole, but the event was all in good fun (and for charity).

Included in the festivities was some pre-match questions during a roundtable discussion hosted by All-Pro NFL defender JJ Watt. During that, Brady gave an interesting Buffalo Bills-related answer.

Asked who landed the biggest hit on him he has ever taken, Brady said former Buffalo defensive back Nate Clements.

It’s one some might recall despite it taking place around two decades ago.

Brady, scrambling to his right at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, simply did not see Clements coming. The QB attempted a late slide to avoid contact, but he barely got into that motion before Clements rocked him so hard his helmet flew off.

In today’s NFL, Clements might be fined and flagged for such a hit. Brady ended up getting up from the knock, so no harm, no foul.
