The Denver Broncos gave Tom Brady everything they had. They hit him, they sacked him, they intimidated him and, most importantly, they beat him. But apparently, it went a little further than that.
According to Robert Klemko of Monday Morning Quarterback, one anonymous Broncos pass rusher gave us this interesting nugget:
“I tried to lay on him a few times. I tried to rub my nuts on his face.”
Oh, okay …
Anonymous pass rusher, huh? Any guesses?
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, too. But, at the same time, would Von Miller really need to go under anonymity to tell everyone he wanted to put his “nuts” in Brady’s face? Knowing Von, he’d probably scream that from the mountaintops if he could.
I mean, he wasn’t afraid to post this photo to Instagram following the game.
Heeeeeesss back!!! For one week.. #blowthatPats

Maybe it was Malik Jackson? He landed a few big blows, too.

Doubt it was DeMarcus Ware, but maybe Derek Wolfe was feeling especially good after the game and wanted to let the world know? I could see that.
The truth is, though, we’ll probably never found out who said those glorious words. I guess, for now, I’ll just consider it a press release from the entire Denver Broncos defense.
