"Careful, he’s got a monster drive" - NFL fans react to Tom Brady taking a dig at Josh Allen following announcement of 'The Match' lineup
This year's charity golf game, 'The Match,' will feature Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
While the game is set for June, NFL fans have already begun sharing their thoughts on the Buccaneers quarterback's joke about Allen and his golf swing. One fan tweeted a video with the caption:
"Careful Tom he’s got a monster drive"

Another fan said:
"This has to be pretty cool for Allen tbh. Growing up a pats fan and watching Brady and now not only playing in the league with him but also getting s**t talked on social media by him over a round of golf."

Yet another fan, who revealed that he supported the Pittsburgh Steelers, asserted:
"yo so as a steelers fan, I gre[w] up hating Tom (for obvious reasons), but I know know that Brady is a savage with the jokes. This man is one of the highlights of social media. Well Played"

The pairings for 'The Match'
The first of two pairings we'll see in June at the Wynn Golf Course for 'The Match' in Las Vegas will see Brady and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers team up. They will take on the other pairing of Allen and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
This matchup is of both NFC vs. AFC signal-callers as well as experience against youth. Instead of seeing Brady across the football field from Rodgers and Allen staring down Mahomes, the rivals will be partners on the golf course.
We'll see how this all plays out soon on the links in this year's 'The Match'.
