In Week 15, Joe Burrow and Tom Brady are set to go against each other for the first time ever. The 6-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the 9-4 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Many have often compared Brady and Burrow to each other, and recently Bengals star receiver Ja'Marr Chase was also asked the same question.
Here's what Ja'Marr Chase said about Tom Brady and Joe Burrow ahead of Week 15 matchup:
"Just a timing on making a decision, you know with the ball in their hands getting the ball out fast. Tom Brady does a good job of that. And Joe does a good job of making sure the balls are just hanging as quick as possible."

When asked about the similarities between Brady and Burrow's competitive nature, Chase said:
"I don't know, I've heard stories of Tom Brady going off on people for dropping the ball, Joe don't do that. So I wouldn't want him, I would be p****d him going off on me."
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played poorly this season and Joe Burrow would love to take advantage of that. The Bucs still have many key players missing due to injuries and the former LSU quarterback could put on a show in this one.
As for Brady, he needs to get his rhythm back. He was pretty bad in the 28-point loss to the 49ers last week and will hope to play better here.
Joe Burrow is ready for Tom Brady in Week 15
Joe Burrow has often been compared to Brady due to his calmness and composure in clutch situations. On Sunday, he will face a quarterback he grew up watching and it will be fun for everyone to see.
Here's what Joe Burrow said about Brady ahead of their matchup:
"I grew up watching this guy, or, you know, I really liked him growing up. I think you'd lose your competitive advantage when you're out on the field. And so I'd really tried to limit that when I was able to come into the league and I think it's it's served me well."
Although Burrow has admired Brady throughout his life, he won't lose his competitive mindset going against him. The Bengals are favored to win against the Buccaneers in Week 15 and it will be fascinating to see Tom Brady going against a quarterback with similar qualities.
