Celebrating a birthday on game day is “kind of tough,” according to Jakobi Meyers, as sitting in meetings all day doesn’t carry quite the same pizzazz as other festivities might.
“It’s not what you would typically expect if you were back home,” said Meyers, who turned 24 on Monday. “I enjoy being around my team, but it’s definitely a business day.”
Though he may not have lived it up off the field quite yet, Meyers celebrated in style on it with a career night. He racked up 12 catches on 14 targets for 169 yards in the Patriots’ come-from-behind, 30-27 win over the New York Jets.
