Tom Brady trolled Aaron Rodgers right to his face during an incredible Tuesday chat.
Brady, Rodgers, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau will all participate in The Match in July, and the seven-time Super Bowl champion just couldn’t help himself from taking a shot at Green Bay’s infamous field goal against the Buccaneers in the NFC championship game.

Brady said he’s pumped that DeChambeau is encouraging Rodgers to “go for it” when the game is “on the line.” Watch the hilarious moment below.

Matt LaFleur’s decision to go for a field goal in the NFC title game and give the ball back to Brady is going to haunt him forever.
Instead of trying to tie up the game while trailing 31-23 late in the fourth quarter, the Packers kicked a field goal, gave the ball back to the Bucs and Brady proceeded to run the clock out to punch a ticket to the Super Bowl.
Ever since, the decision has been widely mocked.
“It wasn’t my decision.”

Now, Tom Brady is straight up taking shots about the situation right to Rodgers’ face. Clearly, he’s doing his best to amp up the excitement ahead of The Match July 6 in Montana.

While I didn’t really care much about the previous years of The Match, I am pumped to see Rodgers and Brady with Mickelson and DeChambeau. If this is the kind of energy Brady is carrying into the day, I think we’re in for a lot of fun!
