Golden Tate on being intimidated by the Patriots: ‘Don’t think we have a locker room full of fanboys’

Golden Tate, who was rumored to be a potential Patriot in the offseason, told reporters Monday he doesn’t think the Giants will be intimidated when they take the field Thursday night in Foxborough.

“I don’t think we have a locker room full of fanboys,’’ Tate said when asked about the mystique of playing against the defending champions in their own building.

“We understand we’re all in the NFL,’’ Tate said. “We’re going up there to do a job. We’ve all played in big games, at some point. I don’t think we need to put too much pressure on ourselves.
