Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a 17-yard run Sunday night, a feat that probably was more newsworthy than the result of the game itself (the Chiefs beat the scuffling Patriots, 23-16). It was his longest run since 2014 and a mind-blowing distance for the famously immobile quarterback, considering that oddsmakers regularly put his rushing-yards over/under total at 0.5 yards for each game.

Perhaps feeling his oats a little bit at the age of 42, Brady issued a social media challenge to speedy Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson during Baltimore’s game against the Jets on Thursday night.

I mean, if people are going to pay money to watch Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson match-play in the dark, surely someone would pony up 99 cents to watch this.

Anyway, Brady issued his challenge on a night when Jackson set the NFL record for single-season rushing yards by a quarterback. He now has 1,103 rushing yards, eclipsing Michael Vick’s 1,039 in 2006. But Brady actually seems to be getting faster in his older age: In July, a Facebook video surfaced of Brady posting his fastest 40-yard dash time ever: 5.17 seconds. Back at the 2000 draft combine, Brady ran the 40 in 5.28 seconds. He clearly has that Dad Speed.

Jackson was asked about Brady’s challenge after Thursday night’s game and said Brady wasn’t a pushover.

“He probably can win that race,” Jackson said. “Rollerblades, on grass? Aw, man. I’ll see what I can do. Tom’s still got a little bit in him. I’ve seen him."
