Things are not going as per the plan inside the Buccaneers’ locker room, as Tom Brady has been receiving back-to-back hits in the form of terrible losses. To rub salt over the fresh wound, the Buccaneers also lost Defensive stalwart Shaquil Barrett due to a torn ACL in the Week 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The quarterback recently spoke about his intentions moving ahead.

When you lose one game, there is an opportunity to strike back, but when an important entity from the squad is missing, it makes the lineup more fragile. Something that Tom Brady said in his recent interview with Jim Gray.

The new episode of ‘Let’s Go! Podcast‘ is out, and the quarterback spoke about a wide range of topics, including his recent performance. The passer again experienced a frustrating defeat in Week 8 against the Lamar Jackson-led side. More than the loss, Shaq Barrett exiting the field in the third quarter of the game made the fans more worried.

It turns out, the outside linebacker suffered a torn ACL which will keep him away for the entire season. This will certainly prove to be a great hit for the defensive line moving ahead in the season.

“It hurts a lot. There’s no doubt. You’re right. Every team does deal with it. We’ve dealt with our fair share of offense this year. Defensively, Lou Shaq is a big loss for us.” Brady said about the back-to-back injuries especially losing Barrett for the upcoming games. “There’s no replacing that level of ability that he has. He’s a tremendous player. Great teammate. We’re gonna miss them. And it’s, you know, it’s one thing to lose the game.”

“It’s another thing to lose a key element of the defense in that game too. So, you know, it’s it was a very sh**ty loss in both respects. And, you know, we all want him to recover.” he added to his explanation.

Here’s how did Tom Brady respond to the loss

With the Week 8, 27-22 loss against the Ravens, Brady and Co. went down 3-5 in the 2022 season. In order to keep their playoff aspirations alive and contend for the Super Bowl, wins are essential. While speaking to the reporters in the post-match press conference, Brady vowed to strike back.

“I don’t think you can erase what happened the last eight weeks,” he said. “We’ve gotta dig deep, see what we’re all about, come to work, try to improve, and give ourselves a better chance to win,” he added.

Brady is playing in his 23rd NFL season, and so far, this year’s record has been the lowest in his career. The Rams are next on the line for the Buccaneers, and they have a long week to practice. It will be interesting to see their performance in the upcoming games of the season.
