Tom Brady and Bucs pulled off a hard-fought 20-10 victory against the Saints in Week 2 of the NFL. This was their first win against New Orleans since 2018. There was also a sense of nostalgia, as TB12 had played at the same venue 20 years ago against the same opponents.

However, the NFL GOAT had an ordinary outing for his standards. He tossed for 190 yards and one touchdown. Moreover, a visibly frustrated QB was seen yelling at his teammates during the second half. The future HOF-er in the latest podcast ‘Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray’ discussed the incident. 

Tom Brady talks about unforced errors

The 45-year-old explained why he was emotional during Sunday’s clash. “We were not executing it very well. It’s been something that comes up since now in four regular seasons. There were too many unforced errors. Too many places where we had the opportunity. Missing things that you shouldn’t miss. Those things come to mind. We are out there fighting. There is a lot on all of us..physically. It’s a battle out there against big teams,” the experienced campaigner said.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner also acknowledged he should play with a calmer mind.“We didn’t score any points in the first half. That’s exhausting. I think a sense of urgency is important. But I was overly emotional yesterday. I got to be in a better place, so I make my team a better place. It allows me to be the best player,” he added.

The NFL icon sounded confident about his team’s performance during a presser. “Uh, it’s an emotional game, so I think a little better execution helps all the way around. All the guys were tough in their five hours. A tough team and really well-coached. We really struggled with it. So it feels good about the win,” Brady said.
