Brady frustrated with sputtering offense, admits it's not team's strength
Tom Brady was short with the media after the New England Patriots' 17-10 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and he admitted Monday morning it was linked to his frustration with the team's offense.
"I think I've said I'm generally frustrated during the season. It's very unique. I was very happy we won, but just wish we could have played better offensively," Brady said on "The Greg Hill Show," according to NFL Network's Michael Giardi. "We have to go out and do it."
Despite Sunday's win, New England had just 74 total yards rushing. Brady was 26-for-47 for 216 yards passing but receiver Julian Edelman threw the team's lone touchdown pass, and the Patriots were 5-for-16 on third downs.
New England ranks 15th in team offense and first overall in team defense, as the defensive unit has carried the Patriots for stretches of the season.
"The strength of our team is our defense and our special teams. So on offense, we've just got to take advantage of our opportunities and understand where our strengths lie and try to play to them," Brady said, according to Darren Hartwell of NBCSBoston.
