Eli Apple has never been one to mince words, and that was certainly the case after he and the Bengals beat Tom Brady and the Bucs on Sunday.
The Bengals came roaring back in the second half, overcoming a 17-3 deficit at halftime, to beat the Bucs 34-23 this weekend.
After the game, Apple had a six-word message for 45-year-old Tom Brady: “The future is now, old man.”
Per ESPN’s Jenna Laine, “Hadn’t seen this until today…Eli Apple says, ‘The future is now, old man.'”
Apple and Hill’s comments appear to be in direct response to what Tom Brady said on his podcast this week.
The veteran quarterback called the Bengals defense “fairly tough.” That comment clearly made its way into the team’s locker room before the game.
Apple and the Bengals got the best of Brady on Sunday, though, roaring back in the second half to get the win.
