The Cincinnati Bengals took it to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a big win on Sunday. For that reason, Eli Apple decided to run his mouth and taunt Tom Brady.
Apple is never one to shy away from talking trash. However, he pin-pointed the GOAT after his team secured the victory.
According to Paul Dehner Jr., Eli Apple and teammate BJ Hill both had a message for the Buccaneers, specifically Tom Brady. Apple sends his message directly to the future Hall of Famer, saying, “the future’s now, old man.” Meanwhile, Hill responded to Brady’s “fairly tough” comments about Cincinnati’s defense.

Hey, when you have the chance to trash-talk the GOAT, why not go for it? Apple definitely took a different approach with Tom Brady in comparison with the San Francisco 49ers. Both defenses went off on him, but at least San Francisco asked for his autograph after the game. Meanwhile, we have Eli Apple over here living up to expectations.
The Bengals’ defense has come alive lately. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers are not the only ones to struggle against this unit. Cincinnati is getting hot at the right time of the season. That was evident in their performance on Sunday, as the defense was relentless against Tampa Bay.
So, it looks like the Bengals might be the real deal. On the other hand, the clock is ticking on Tom Brady and Bucs.
