Tom Brady is one of the most heralded quarterbacks in history with a reputation of being able to go against the best off them.
But if you can’t beat them, you had better join them. And the New Orleans Saints defender he would have loved to have played with, not against, is Demario Davis. Brady had his chances to spar against him as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he was on the call for FOX Sports during Sunday’s season finale at Raymond James Stadium.
“Would’ve loved to have played with Demario Davis,” Brady said on the game’s broadcast, reacting to a big tackle by Davis in the first quarter. “It’s a toughness thing, your teammates know you’re always reliable.”
His record against Davis when the signal-caller was with the Buccaneers was 3-4. The Saints have had some solid luck against the Tampa Bay in general just looking throughout history, leading the overall series with a 40-26-0 all-time record.
The Saints are not the only team Davis has played for, though, and the Bucs are obviously not the only team that Brady played for as one of the best New England Patriots ever. Brady went 6-2 against Davis and the Jets over that time period, having better luck against him then. It’s clear to see he gave Brady some headaches, though on both squads.
Davis played a single season with the Cleveland Browns in which Brady got the edge in the lone matchup they faced each other in. So, all-time, Brady went 9-7 against Davis — with most of those losses coming once they both arrived in the NFC South.
