For the first time in his career, Tom Brady couldn't do anything to help his New England Patriots win a game.

So, he did what every sports fan does on Sundays: he watched some football.

Brady recapped his day off with Jim Gray of Westwood One on Monday, giving his thoughts on the first week of the 2016 season.

"I spent a little time working out and obviously watched a lot of football," said Brady. "I watched that one channel - that Red Zone Channel that captures everything, which is pretty amazing. ... You can sit back and watch a lot of the games and how they're transpiring."

The future Hall of Fame quarterback didn't have to worry about his own team playing until the evening, so he got to enjoy the afternoon's best action.

"There was a lot of close games yesterday: the two-point conversion in the Raiders-Saints game, the ebbs and flows of that game and the Jacksonville-Green Bay game," he said. "Obviously, I love the sport so much, and to have a chance to watch all those games under difficult circumstances - obviously I'd rather be out there playing - it was still an enjoyable Sunday, nonetheless."

It probably helped that Brady's Patriots pulled off the upset against the Arizona Cardinals in the Sunday-nighter, which the quarterback properly celebrated.
