Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were pretty comfortably beaten by the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Brady had one of his worst games of the season as he completed a season-low 51 percent of his passes for 254 yards and no touchdowns.

The 41-year-old Brady has not had a particularly strong season thus far, and his performance against the Titans has only fueled the growing belief that he might finally be on the decline.

In an interview with Jim Gray of Westwood One, Brady admits he wasn’t at his best against the Titans. But he says he feels good and is committed to playing better moving forward.

“Everything is different from one year to the next,” Brady said. “I think you keep working at it the same way. Those things haven't changed for me. I'm sure some of my statistics have changed. But I feel good out there. And I feel like do I want to play better? I absolutely want to play better. I want to play best as I possibly can for my team, and that's what my job is to do. Certainly, yesterday was not a great performance. I got to go out there and play my very best these next six weeks to give our team the best chance. And that's what I want to do.”

Brady is clearly not having an MVP-caliber season. Through 10 games, he is completing 65 percent of his passes for 2,748 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. While still good, they’re not the usual stellar numbers everyone has come to expect from him.

He hasn’t been helped by an offensive line that has not been as sturdy as usual amid recent injuries and a receiving corps that has not had star tight end Rob Gronkowski at his best.

Despite his greatness, even Brady will have difficulty overcoming Father Time. But while he's not been at his best this year, the Patriots are still at 7-3, which shows that at age 41, he’s still capable of producing those all-important wins.
