The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled in the 2022 season, limping to a 5-6 record after Sunday’s 23-17 overtime loss against the Cleveland Browns.

But those struggles haven’t seemed to diminish Tom Brady’s passion for the game, with the veteran quarterback saying on Monday that losing was still better than not playing:

“I love playing. I love competing. I love trying to be a little bit better every day. I love going out there with a sense of purpose to try to get better. And ultimately, I love trying to play at a championship level for my teammates… And obviously there’s challenges every year. Everybody has unique challenges, you know, on and off the field. You work as hard as you can with the circumstances that are presented before you. We’re just going to keep fighting until the end and we’ll be measured by, again, by what happens over the course of a long season.”

Brady hasn’t been happy with the play of the team’s offense this season.
