Summary

Tom Brady is coming off his worst game of the season but says he doesn't draw extra motivation from the fact that the New England Patriots next game is against the New York Jets.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady is coming off his worst game of the season but says he doesn't draw extra motivation from the fact that the New England Patriots next game is against the New York Jets.

The AFC East rivals face each other on Sunday. All four teams in the division are tied at 3-3.

Brady said Wednesday that he doesn't think six games define a season and what will define the Patriots' season is what they do over the remaining 10 regular-season games.

The Patriots dropped to 3-3 when they blew a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost to the Seahawks 24-23 last Sunday. Brady threw two interceptions and was called for two intentional grounding penalties in the game.
