The other highlight of the latest episode was the Colts‘ strategy in containing the Tampa Bay QB. Colts defensive line coach Brian Baker yelled out instructions and his aim was simple – to put as much pressure on the GOAT as possible.

Pressure in his face first, collapse on the sides. Make him throw out of a coffin — make him think he’s back in his hyperbaric chamber thing that he sleeps in.”
