Tom Brady: Buccaneers 'Obviously Have a Lot of Work to Do' After Loss to Bears
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't find the end zone after the first quarter of Thursday's 20-19 loss to the Chicago Bears and managed just six points in the second half.
Tom Brady was not pleased in the aftermath.
"We obviously have a lot of work to do," he said, per Gregg Auman of The Athletic.

Tampa Bay committed 11 penalties for 109 yards, struggled to block Khalil Mack and the rest of the Chicago pass rush, and was just 4-of-14 on third downs.
Brady was visibly frustrated with his teammates in the second half, and the broadcast captured him screaming at his teammates following one failed drive.
However, the 14-time Pro Bowler also deserves some of the blame. He appeared to think it was only third down on Tampa Bay's final possession when he threw an incomplete pass on fourth down. He also threw two incomplete passes on his team's penultimate possession when it was surprising the visitors were even throwing at all.
That allowed the Bears to preserve time, which Nick Foles used to drive them into field-goal range for what proved to be the winning kick from Cairo Santos.
Fortunately for the Buccaneers, they are still in first place in the NFC South at 3-2. They were also far from healthy with Chris Godwin and O.J. Howard sidelined and Leonard Fournette dealing with his own injury that kept him off the field for much of the game.
Mike Evans was even questionable before the game, but played and ended up catching a touchdown.
Playing on Thursday means the Buccaneers will have extra time to get healthy before their next game, which will not be easy. They face the undefeated Green Bay Packers in Week 6 in a showdown of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Tampa Bay will have to be much better in that one.
