The New England Patriots lost their first game of the season in Week 9 against the Baltimore Ravens. Despite the loss, Tom Brady is feeling pretty good with the team having an 8-1 record through the first nine weeks.

“It hasn’t all been perfect, but 8-1, I don’t think anyone’s going to complain about that,” Brady told Scott Zolak when asked about the current state of the Patriots on Friday’s episode of “Patriots All Access.”

Last week, New England faced their toughest test of the year in the Ravens on Sunday Night Football. Led by Lamar Jackson, Baltimore was able to take down the Patriots 37-20.

With the loss, the Patriots still have a decent-sized lead in the AFC East. The Patriots will have their bye week in Week 10 and will prepare for a tough stretch of games after their bye week.
