Patriots quarterback Tom Brady opened his motivational toolbox during his postgame interview with CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson after New England’s divisional-round victory over the L.A. Chargers on Sunday.
“I know, you know, everyone thinks we suck, we can’t win any games,” Brady said. “So, we’ll see. It will be fun.”
The “fun” reference was a nod to the AFC Championship Game in Kansas City against the Chiefs on Sunday. The unprompted message to Patriots haters was a peek into Brady’s competitive burn.
This is how the 41-year-old quarterback, perhaps the greatest in NFL history and unquestionably the most productive in the playoffs, ticks.
