Tom Brady Challenges Lamar Jackson to 40-Yard Dash on Twitter After Ravens QB Breaks Rushing Mark
By Scott Rogust
The Week 15 edition of Thursday Night Football is essentially the showcase of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. The second-year signal caller put on a show at the expense of the New York Jets in the first half. From breaking Michael Vick's single-season rushing record to leading the Ravens to three consecutive touchdown drives, it's been the Lamar show.
Leave it to perfectionist Tom Brady to steal some of Jackson's glory.
During the game, Brady sent out a tweet challenging Jackson to a 40-yard dash competition, but the catch is, the Ravens quarterback has to wear roller blades on the turf.
Me vs Lamar, 40 Yard Dash on natural grass but he has to wear rollerblades. Who’s buying the PPV?

Seriously, who says no to this? Talk about compelling pay-per-view action.
Brady must feel pretty confident in his abilities, considering he scrambled for a huge gain in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

But let's be real, Jackson will find a way to outpace Brady, even with the impossible task of rollerblading on grass. Whatever the price of the event, count us in! And don't kid yourselves, you'd buy the PPV too.
