Marcell Dareus won’t be cheering for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
The Buffalo Bills defensive tackle said that the New York Giants’ pass rush will be the key to shutting down Tom Brady.
“You have to get after Brady some type of way,” Dareus said during an interview on Sirius XM radio. “Getting a hand in his face, knocking his arm down.”
Dareus, who beat Brady and the Patriots in Week 3, warned Giants players that they may have battle the referees in the game as well.
“Don’t go too crazy because Brady has the referees on his side,” Dareus explained. “He cries to referees as soon as he gets a chance, and it always goes his way. So don’t go too crazy, just play the game safe and just get in his face.”
The third overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft admittedly will be rooting for the Giants on Sunday.
“I’m going for the Giants,” he said. “I like to see Osi (Umenyiora) and them rush. My boy, (Giants cornerback) Prince Amukamara, is playing. I’m really rooting for them.”
Dareus finished with 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his rookie season in Buffalo.
