Tom Brady frustrated by narrow defeat

Brady frustrated by narrow defeat

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has admitted that he was frustrated that his side missed a late opportunity on offense to slip to a narrow defeat to the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers snapped Bill Belichick's side's seven-game winning streak in the NFL as they claimed a 26-21 victory at Lambeau Field, Brady and his offense ruing a missed connection with Rob Gronkowski and then a sack late in the match, which stopped them from taking the lead.

Brady told reporters: "I just wish we won this one. I think we put a lot into this one. This was just a great test for us. I think the guys knew how important it was for our season.

"You hate to have the ball right there on the 20-yard line with under three minutes with a chance to go ahead and not do it. It sucked.

"We had our chances. In the end, 21 points isn't going to be enough against a team like that. So we have to figure out how to score more points."

The Patriots are 9-3 in their season following their loss to the Packers, but still hold the number one seed in the AFC conference.
