This is something usually reserved for a soccer pitch, but, pretty cool seeing real recognize real.
When asked why this occurred during the postgame news conference, Brady responded:
Brady did a jersey swap with Odell Beckham tonight. “Supposed to do it last year, but I forgot.” pic.twitter.com/S1j0Z7I0Wd
