The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered from another slow start on Sunday, once again fueling criticism of the offensive unit led by quarterback Tom Brady.

However, head coach Bruce Arians isn't concerned about the team's inconsistencies as long as the end result is positive.

"I don't know why anybody's criticizing Tom," Arians said Wednesday, according to Grace Remington of CBS Tampa. "If we finish the half with 17 points, I don't give a shit how we start. He's not getting enough credit for what he's doing."

Tampa Bay scored 17 points in the second quarter en route to a 26-14 win over Minnesota Vikings to snap the team's two-game skid.

Brady finished the contest with 15-for-23 passing, 196 yards, and two touchdown passes. The six-time Super Bowl champion has thrown for 30 touchdowns this season, his most since 2017.
