In an on-field, post-game interview with NFL Network from Raymond James stadium following the Bucs 31-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Shaq Barrett had plenty to say about the Bucs dominant defensive performance, highlighting the defensive line’s constant pressure on Patrick Mahomes. But perhaps the most surprising thing Barrett mentioned was that Chiefs right tackle Andrew Wylie was talking trash all game to the Bucs pass rusher, despite the fact that Wylie was in the midst of a miserable performance on Sunday night (1:50 – 2:20).

“No. 77 (Wylie) was talking so much he made me mad,” Barrett said, laughing. “I was just coming at his neck all game!”
“What did he say to you?” analyst Steve Mariucci asked.
“I don’t even know what he was saying, it didn’t matter, I was talking to him!” Barrett said.
“What did you say to him?”
“I told him he was a scrub, he was trash, gotta take a train home!” Barrett said. “He ain’t getting back on the plane! He ain’t getting back on the plane tonight!”
I love trash talk stories so much. Barrett finished the game with one sack and ten pressures (!!) on 47 pass rush attempts, per Pro Football Focus. Wylie allowed nine pressures and was PFF’s worst-graded offensive player in the game on either team.

I want to know what was being said between Brady and the honey badger!!
Same here.
Jon, you have an assignment. :-)
We want to know Jon
I was disappointed to learn that the famous honey badger is such a bad sport. Oh well!
Then again I did not know that Tom Brady was such a high character cat until he came to us. I had only watched his career from afar.

Go Bucs!!! Super Bowl Champs!
There’s even a report that Brady already text Mathieu after the game to apologize for his part in the back and forth. Like, there’s never been a guy like him all around.
Whatever it was it had the Honey Badger preoccupied and kept him off his “A” game all game long!
Have it on good sources he said, “Eat my cooter, honey sucker.”
Watching the video and the game, it seemed Brady said something along the lines of “I’m coming straight at you.” I’m no lip reader, but that’s what I got from it, his throws also seemed to back it up.
So Funny! I Love it! I’m sure we will see recaps of the game and here some of what was said. I can’t wait to watch NFL Films recount of the game, those are the best!
Matthieu tweeted a claim that “He called me something I won’t repeat” insinuating Brady made some type of slur. After realizing Brady was micd up though, he deleted the tweet. I’d love to hear the micd up from this game!
