They each took turns throwing at balloons from various distances. However, since Brady is the GOAT, his balloons were slightly smaller to level the playing field. The results of the game may surprise you.
After an intense battle that came down to the final balloons, Jake the high school quarterback actually beat Brady in what will go down as an upset for the ages. Although he didn’t hit the 50-yard, $100k-winning throw in one shot, the ball ricocheted perfectly into the final balloon. A shocking turn of events in what many thought would be a breeze for Brady.
Of course, Jake got all the advantages he could get. Mr. Beast revealed after he popped his first balloon that he brought Jake’s high school class out to cheer him on. With his friends literally on his back, Jake was able to ride the momentum to a dramatic victory.
Some playful trash-talking ensued as Jake’s high school classmates began chanting before Brady took his throws. What started as simple boos quickly escalated into chants of “he’s too old” and “overrated.” The intensity especially peaked as the seven-time Super Bowl champ prepared for his 50-yard throw. The noise seemed to work, rattling Brady and leading to two consecutive misses that allowed Jake back into the contest.
Even Mr. Beast openly admitted to being surprised by Brady’s struggle to hit the 50-yarder, “You’d think the most clutch QB ever would breeze through this last round, but nailing a 50-yard dime for any level passer was not going to be easy,” the YouTuber said.
Brady was never particularly known for his deep balls. He was a game manager who excelled at picking apart defenses by getting crucial first downs when he needed them most. At times he would throw it deep, especially once Randy Moss arrived. But for the most part, he had a pretty standard 7.4 career yards per attempt.
Regardless, Brady losing to a high schooler is a surprise. After easily hitting his closest target, he missed his first throw when attempting to hit the second balloon. Although he attributed the miss to the sudden rain that began to pour, it was still shocking to see him miss such a routine throw. However, he locked back in and nailed the next two throws in a row before struggling with his final 50-yard target.
Even though it was a fun game just for fans, the end results were still shocking. Brady is now a few years removed from playing in the NFL and his age is only going to show more often. It was a friendly reminder to sports fans everywhere that Father Time is undefeated.
