Tom Brady isn't used to losing.
The New England Patriots quarterback dropped his opening contest last Thursday to the Kansas City Chiefs and wasn't a fan of having a few extra days off to analyze it.
"It's probably easier when you're getting right back to work," Brady said Monday during his weekly interview on sports radio WEEI's "Kirk and Callahan" program, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. "It actually kind of sucked having three extra days to think about it and rewatch the game. The good thing about football season when it's Sunday to Sunday, is Monday you kind of watch it and then by Tuesday you're already moving on to the next team. I've kind of moved on to the next team, but we haven't really done that formally as a team. We're doing that today."
Although Brady wasn't pleased with waiting to go back to work, he also saw a silver lining in the extra time off.
"It kind of sits with us a little bit longer, but maybe it's good to sit with us longer and continue for us to evaluate and nitpick and so forth," he added. "So it's probably a couple of extra days in weeks like this as opposed to a normal seven-day week."
The five-time Super Bowl champion has overcome many obstacles in his career, including working his way up from being a sixth-round pick to become a future Hall of Famer, so learning how to deal with a few extra days after a loss is probably something he can handle.
