\n Tom Brady Recalls Legendary Battles With Ravens, Ray Lewis<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Tom Brady calling the Ravens-Rams game for FOX, the former quarterback reflected on the legendary battles he had with the Ravens when he was with the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

“A lot of meaningful games there against the Ravens,” Brady said on \u201cStory Time With Tom\u201d<\/a> on YouTube. “That’s one of the toughest organizations our Patriots organization ever faced. We always went to Baltimore and they were a tough, hard-nosed football team, and they still are. That defense built around Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, they had so many talented players at all levels of the defense.”<\/p>\n

Brady elaborated on his rivalry with Lewis.<\/p>\n

“Ray was the ultimate competitor,” Brady said. “He was the quarterback of the defense at linebacker and everything ran through him. So, you just knew that there was a chess match between what he was trying to get his defense to do and what we were trying to get our offense to do. He was such a cerebral player; he read route combinations better than anybody.”<\/p>\n

Brady also talked about trash talking Lewis but not wanting any part of a physical confrontation with the Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

“Once in a while, I’d get out in the open field and he’d come tracking me down,” Brady said. “Of course, if he hit me, he’d probably break me in two. So, I would try to slide pretty early, but then me, knowing I was protected by my own offensive linemen, I was ready to talk a little of my own s\u2014. But it didn’t last too long. There was a lot of mutual respect between the two of us. We had a great rivalry over the years.<\/p>\n

“I was definitely never going to get anywhere close to Ray. He was a tough man. I wasn’t going to pick any fights with anybody out there, but I was going to maybe instigate something and get the hell out of the way before I got my [butt] kicked.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Brady Recalls Legendary Battles With Ravens, Ray Lewis With Tom Brady calling the Ravens-Rams game for FOX,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":292215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[149080,149081,834,13880,31153,149697,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-292214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2025-week-6","9":"tag-2025-week-6-news","10":"tag-general","11":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","12":"tag-late-for-work","13":"tag-los-angeles-rams-at-baltimore-ravens-2025-reg-6","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115350480100310700","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/292215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
