At this stage of his career, it should be no surprise that Tom Brady welcomes all challenges directed his way.

Brady and the New England Patriots host the upstart Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game, in pursuit of their third Super Bowl title in four years.

After defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jaguars star cornerback Jalen Ramsey guaranteed a Super Bowl victory, an ambitious task for a team that hadn't made the playoffs since 2007.

Brady reflected on Ramsey's comments Tuesday but noted that he wasn't remotely worried about his remarks.

"I think what I have learned for a long time is it's how you play, it's not what you say," Brady said on WEEI via CBS's John Breech. "Everyone has different ways of handling things - players do, coaches do. We do what works for us, other players do what works for them. The game is going to be decided by who plays the best, not who hypes the best or speaks the best. He's a really good player. I have watched a ton of film on him. He has a lot of strengths. He's obviously very confident. That is reflected in how he plays. I am more concerned about how he plays opposed to what he says."

Ramsey has established himself as the NFL's best cornerback and trash-talker through two seasons and is full of confidence as the Jaguars seek to pull off one of the biggest upsets in recent memory. Brady, however, is looking to cement an iron-clad case as the best player of all time and win his sixth Super Bowl.
