Tom Brady has explained his stance after criticising his teammates efforts so far this season after a slow start to the 2022 year.
Less than two years removed from winning the Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started their first eight games with a 3-5 record, and looked to be heading towards a lost season in Brady's 23rd year in the NFL, after making the surprise decision to return to the team following his 40-day retirement.
Whilst Brady himself has performed well all year, it's fair to say that he's been let down with some poor play around him, with his offensive line struggling to protect him along with subpar wide receiving play, with Chris Godwin, Russell Gage and Julio Jones all failing play as would have been expected, along with losing Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown from the previous two seasons.
