Tom Brady congratulates Lamar Jackson
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Baltimore Ravens in Thursday Night Football for a week eight clash. Lamar Jackson led the Ravens to a memorable victory against the hosts. It was a hard-fought game that was thoroughly enjoyed by fans.
But what made the talking point for the NFL world was that Tom Brady came up to Jackson after the game to personally congratulate him.

This gesture from Brady won the hearts of the NFL world. But some fans showed no mercy, and they took the video out of context.
This fan had this to say.
Brady is likely the greatest quarterback to ever play this game. But he had to start somewhere. The next generation of QBs (Jackson, Mahomes, Allen, Hurts, Murray, etc.) will now have their times. It’s near to see the torch being passed to these young guys. 💜

It would definitely be a night to remember for Jackson.
The Buccaneers lose yet another
The Buccaneers have not had a season that was expected of them. They had won just three out of seven games going into this one. It was a must-win for them but Lamar Jackson and the Ravens had other ideas.
