Tom Brady has been synonymous with the terms teamwork and perseverance to NFL fans over the years. Being selfless in terms of contracts and sweating it out on the training ground, it's no surprise that Brady is the only player in history to win seven Super Bowls.

But 2022 has so far been a far different tale. With Brady reportedly engrossed in personal turmoil, the quarterback looks like a shadow of his former self. He's been skipping training, attending social events, and losing his cool far too often. NFL analyst Mike Florio believes Tom Brady runs the risk of losing the Buccaneers' dressing room. Here's what he said on on Football Night in America:

"I know with Tom Brady, you just throw out the rule book and he does whatever he wants because he is Tom Brady. But you have to wonder what the guys in the locker room are thinking when he checks out on a Friday night, and doesn't show up for Saturday."

Florio made the statement following the Buccaneers QB's outburst at his offensive line during his team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers:

"You don't have quite the same credibility when you are giving it to your offensive linemen. They may be looking at you a little bit differently. It's like, ‘Dude, you weren't here yesterday, we were.’ And at some point, if you're not winning, then that becomes a factor."

Florio even went on to question his commitment to the franchise:

"I really do wonder how all-in he is this year because Tom of five, 10 or 15 years ago never would have left on a Friday night and met up with the team on a Saturday night on the road."

Gisele Bündchen spotted horse riding with daughter as Tom Brady falters against Steelers

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were upset by the underwhelming Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The AFC North side shocked everyone and won 20-18. This was the Buccaneers' second loss on the trot.

While Brady was visibly irate, his wife Gisele Bündchen as per TMZ, was taking in some horseback riding with their daughter Vivian in Florida. Rumors of a rift between the couple have been doing rounds ever since the start of the offseason. Reports now suggest that the two have even hired divorce lawyers. With the quarterback facing some tough decisions in the near future, many have blamed his recent failures on the off-field saga.
