Voltar
Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was blunt when talking about his former team and their turnover issues in Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
The team committed four turnovers in total, with quarterback Drake Maye throwing three interceptions and running back Rhamondre Stevenson coughing up a fumble. Green Bay came into the game with a top 10-ranked passing defense, and they made Maye pay for every mistake.
And those mistakes ultimately proved costly for the team as a whole.
"Belichick used to walk in every day and say, 'We cannot win until we can keep from losing.' And you cannot win by turning the ball over," Brady said during the FOX broadcast, via Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller.
Brady made a great point when it comes to turnovers.
Maye threw a pick on his first pass of the game, and the Packers cashed in on an easy touchdown. That set the tone for the entire game. The Patriots have a minus-11 turnover differential for the season, tying them in last place with the Indianapolis Colts for the worst in the NFL.
Even worse, the Patriots haven't been able to generate many turnovers on defense. It's a real issue that could ultimately sink the team's playoff hopes if they don't get it under control.
