Jalen Ramsey on facing Tom Brady in the playoffs
However, Jalen Ramsey will be extra focused while going up against the seven-time Super Bowl winner. Ramsey will be on the lookout to equalize his post-season record against Brady. The first time the two sides met, it didn’t go well for Ramsey.
The game in question is the 2018 AFC Championship game between Jacksonville Jaguars and the New England Patriots. Needless to say, Tom Brady was leading the patriots while Ramsey was with the Jaguars. The Jaguars lost the game to the Patriots 24-20. And that was when Ramsey became familiar with the postseason wrath of Tom Brady.

Ramsey recalls his AFC Championship game against Brady
Surprisingly, Brady’s star running back of the season, Leonard Fournette was also with the Jaguars in that game. But now, the two beasts will be playing alongside each other against Jalen Ramsey’s Los Angeles Rams. And when asked about his first playoff win against Tom Brady, Jalen replied:
“That experience did not go as planned when I was in Jacksonville in the AFC Championship Game,” Ramsey said. “We thought we had their number four well; we thought we may have their game in the bag and Tom Brady did what he always does; channel his greatness. He’s the GOAT and came back, led his team back and they beat us when I was in Jacksonville.”
