“Guys are practicing their as**s off” – Tom Brady rubbishes rumors of Buccaneers’ lack of effort ahead of Week 15 showdown vs Joe Burrow’s Bengals
In Week 15, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face a tough test in the Cincinnati Bengals. The Buccaneers are coming off a 28-point loss to the San Francisco 49ers and tough tests aren't exactly welcome at this point in the season.

Here's what Brady said about his team's efforts ahead of the game vs. the Cincinnati Bengals:
"I guess maybe it's one of the strengths there's no lack of quit, there's no lack of fight, guys are practicing their a***s off. We're trying to work hard to make make the right improvements..."
He continued:
"Every day you're challenging the sport, you know? You get up every day and your body feels a certain way in your mind and your confidence in your man you got to go coordinate that was everyone else's body and confidence and attitude and you're trying to string together..."
Brady added:
"It's really rewarding when it pays off. And when it doesn't pay off, it sucks. But that's like all of our jobs. You know, when it doesn't go the way you want. It sucks and we got to camp stand up here and answer questions about why it's not going great..."
