There are not many players in the NFL who are willing to get involved in trash-talking with Tom Brady. It turns him into the ‘Psycho Tom,’ which is a scary sight for opponents. The new Bills linebacker Von Miller also learned that lesson last season.
For the Los Angeles Rams, when faced with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Round game, Brady did almost the unthinkable. He was on course to complete another huge comeback win in the playoffs, but Cooper Kupp had other ideas.

Von Miller, during a recent appearance on a podcast, revealed the interaction of him with Brady during that game. The Rams had a huge lead over the Bucs, and everyone was confident on the Rams team, including Von Miller.
While talking about the incident, Von Miller said, “I’m looking at Tom, and he scratched his feet in the ground, like marking his territory, and I was like trash his a**, and Tom kind of looked at me and smirked … then third down came and it was an incomplete pass, and I was like, ‘Man I give up,’ and I run off the field and I look back, and Tom’s going for it on fourth down.”

He added, “So I run back out on the field, he converts the fourth down and then a play after that he scores a touchdown, and they just started coming back, and I’m getting my hands on my head. I was like, ‘See, this is why I don’t talk sh*t in the game’…”
On that day, Miller learned to never trash talk with the GOAT, no matter the situation in the game. One must avoid evoking ‘Psycho Tom.’ Other NFL players can also agree with this statement.
Tom Brady and Von Miller could face each other once again in the playoffs
Even though Von Miller has joined the Buffalo Bills in the AFC, he and Brady can still face each other in the playoffs. The Bills are the favorites to win the Super Bowl. On the other hand, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also among the favorites to come out of the NFC.

As a result, Brady and Miller might be able to compete against each other on the biggest stage. It will be a great spectacle if the Bucs and the Bills face off at the Super Bowl.
Josh Allen is on the rise. He will have a great opportunity to defeat the greatest of all time. However, defeating Tom Brady in the playoffs will not be a simple task. Allen can ask another rival of his, Patrick Mahomes, who has faced Brady a couple of times in the playoffs.
