The New England Patriots fell to the New York Giants, 10-7, in Week 12 but that was through no fault of Jabrill Peppers.
The veteran safety recorded three tackles (two solo, one for a loss), one QB hit, one sack, and one fumble recovered against his former team on Sunday. It wasn’t quite the statement game he had hoped for, but it was a productive day nonetheless.
Peppers had expressed excitement about taking on against his former club leading up to the game, including his good pal, running back Saquon Barkley.
There were no hard feelings, but Peppers wanted to show the Giants what they let get away. Unfortunately for him, a missed field goal with seconds remaining prevented him from coming out victorious.
As players spilled out onto the field after the final whistle, Barkley and Peppers met up. That’s when NFL cameras caught something Peppers probably prefers they didn’t.

“You lucky we (expletive), bro,” Peppers said to Barkley, who couldn’t help but to laugh.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is not going to be happy when he sees that clip but Peppers was being honest. The Giants are a terrible football team here in 2023, and New England is a bit worse.
