The Bengals’ defense definitely heard Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady’s comments about them ahead of their Sunday afternoon matchup.
Earlier last week on his Let’s Go! podcast, Brady referred to Cincinnati as having a “fairly tough defense.” So, when Bengals cornerback Eli Apple was asked about the opposing quarterback’s performance following Cincinnati’s comeback 34–23 win, he knew exactly how he wanted to answer.
“He was fairly okay, but not good enough to win,” Apple said, via WLWT.
Defensive tackle B.J. Hill also chimed into the conversation after the game when he ran into the tunnel.
