Recently, the Pewter Pirates lost against the Cleveland Browns (4-7). Even though the Bucs came from a bye week and had won back-to-back games, they could not rise against the Browns in a 23-17 overtime loss. It was even more disappointing because Tampa Bay lost against the team that had the worst record in the NFL this season. Obviously, these losses affected Tom Brady. Therefore, he expressed his disappointment at losing so many games. However, previously, the star QB also confessed that losses were also taking a toll on his body.

“I have not slept great as you can only imagine,” Brady revealed. “It is your fault when you lose, and you take it personally when you lose. And you shouldn’t sleep at night when you lose. You should only think about what you need to do to help the team more, and that’s what I lay in bed at night after games thinking about.” He also hinted at the problems players face on and off the field. After that confession came a staggering admission from QB1.

After the overtime loss, it looked like Tampa Tom lost faith in himself. It was the first time ever that he lost a game where he led by seven points or more while heading into the last two minutes of regulation time.

In the post-game conference, Tom Brady held himself accountable for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ unsatisfactory performance. He said, “There are times when I go in and think I’m the worst quarterback who has ever played.” But he also said that the self-doubt remains for a little while. If he wins more games, he may also sleep like a baby.
