Tom Brady was not a happy camper after the New England Patriots' 30-24 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.
A big source of Brady's frustration was the officiating, which he discussed Monday during an appearance on WEEI's "Dennis, Callahan & Minihane."
"It was a very hard loss," Brady said. "I don't think I've ever been so visibly pissed off after a loss. And I think everyone felt the same way. Hopefully we can use it as motivation going forward.
"Like I said, there's things that we could have done better. And it's certainly not to leave it up to a call here or a call there or one player. There's things across the board that we need to do a better job of and we can do a better job of. And that's what the focus is going to be this week."
Brady didn't outright blame the officials for the outcome of the game, but clearly felt his team got the short end of the stick.
"Sometimes we're getting (the calls) and sometimes we don't," he said. "We didn't get any last night. I don't know why or why not. You think they're looking at it, and they probably are. Sometimes officials miss it, too. I totally understand that. They're not - I don't know. I have no clue."
Brady did take some positives away from the loss, though.
"If Denver is one of the top teams in the AFC, obviously we know we can hang with everybody," Brady said. "Because we went into overtime in a tough environment with just a lot of things that didn't necessarily bounce our way. We still can gain confidence from that. We're still in a good position. Our season is going to be what we make of it."
