Visibly upset Tom Brady fires warning to Bucs players in post-game press conference after loss to Falcons

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' regular-season campaign fizzled out in dire fashion as they succumbed to a 30-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Brady played the first two quarters and finished with 13 pass completions for 84 yards and one touchdown before exiting the game. Quarterback Blaine Gabbert entered the game and threw a touchdown pass to give the Buccaneers a 17-10 lead, but the Falcons dominated proceedings after that and scored 20 unanswered points to win the game. The loss meant that the Buccaneers finished with a 8-9 record.

In the post-game press conference, Brady was visibly frustrated by the result and answered questions in a monotonous tone. When asked about the Buccaneers' preparations for the playoffs, the veteran quarterback fired a warning to his teammates, saying:

"Every week is going to be a new week for us. It's always tough to lose. But we are going to put everything we can into this week. Everyone has worked hard to get to this point. Now, no more second chances."

Who will the Buccaneers play next week? Tom Brady and Tampa Bay's playoff path explained

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers won the AFC South division title and will host a playoff game at the Raymond James Stadium next week. They will welcome the Dallas Cowboys during Super Wildcard Week.

If Brady and the Buccaneers beat the Cowboys, they will likely travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional round. However, if the seventh seed (Green Bay Packers or Seattle Seahawks) beats the San Francisco 49ers next week, the Buccaneers will face the winner of the Wildcard game between the New York Giants and the Minnesota Vikings.

If the Vikings win, the Buccaneers will travel to Minnesota, but if the Giants come out on top, Tampa Bay will host New York in the Divisional round. The winner of that game will either host the seventh seed or travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.

It's been tough sledding all season long for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, but they now find themselves in the playoffs where they will fancy themselves to beat any team they face.
