It’s definitely a challenge and one Brady says his team is ready for. During his appearance on Westwood One Radio prior to Monday Night Football, Tom Brady expressed just how amped up his team is to face the best team in the AFC.
"“They have played us pretty tough and I think it is a big challenge,” Brady said, as transcribed by WEEI. “They are 5-0 and they are that way for a reason. They have got ahead of all these teams they have played. They have an offense that is scoring a lot of points. Like [Sunday] in the game against Jacksonville, they got five turnovers. They are good on both sides of the ball. They are well-coached, and they are hot. They are playing well and playing with a lot of confidence. Anything less than our best game won’t get it done. It is a great challenge for us.”"
Brady went on to say that the team will be “fired up and ready to go.”
