{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Brady is aware of his own struggles this season and what he has to do to get the Tampa Bay Buccaneers more victories down the stretch of the 2020 season.
Brady, in his first season with the team, told reporters he has to do a better job of targeting wide receivers down the field. It’s something coach Bruce Arians has publicly criticized his quarterback for.

You know, if you don’t hit them, they’re just long foul balls and we had a few of those last game.”
Brady has 2,739 passing yards, 23 touchdown passes, seven interceptions and has completed 66% of his passes.
It’s not going to get easier for the Buccaneers on Monday night when they play the Los Angeles Rams, whose defense features Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.

“They’ve got some really good players that maybe some people haven’t heard of but they’re playing really well. They’re fast, they attack, they’re aggressive, they’re in a good scheme. You don’t have a lot of time as a quarterback to sort things out because this D-line is on you so quick,” he said.
