Despite this being his 23rd season in the NFL, quarterback Tom Brady still hates losing.

On Sunday night, the 40-year-old was in a bad mood after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 41-31 to the Kansas City Chiefs. Brady was still having his best game of the season, completing 39 of 52 passes for 385 yards and three touchdowns.
“It was a bit better than our previous style of play, but it wasn’t good enough,” the center said at a press conference. We’re here for a reason and it’s not about moving the ball. We’re here to get more points than the other team. We weren’t good with our ground game. We could have done a lot better with our air play. We have to get to work.”
Given Patrick Mahomes’ band, the “Bucs”‘ ground game was non-existent. The crowd favorite at Raymond James Stadium ran the ball a whopping ten feet six times…
“It’s not just one thing. I’m sure it’s a couple of things,” Brady said of the situation.
“We have to take the time to evaluate it and do a better job. We won’t be pitching all the time. We have a lot of good players who can walk. We have a line [offensive] who does a good job with the ground game. We just couldn’t find our rhythm.”
a shock
Buccaneers fans (2-2) and Brady supporters held their breath in the second quarter of the duel against the Chiefs. The 45-year-old quarterback never saw cornerback L’Jarius Sneed charge at him, and he was hit hard in the back. The seven-ring Super Bowl holder fumbled the ball on the streak, clutching his right shoulder as he struggled to his feet.
After that, on the sidelines, Brady continued to hold his shoulder and practice throwing balls for about five minutes.
“It’ll be fine, that’s football,” said the line runner simply when asked about a possible injury.
Brady and the Buccaneers return this Sunday when the Atlanta Falcons visit Florida.
