For Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, this was a Monday night he will want to forget. A 41-14 loss to the Chiefs on national television left the future Hall of Famer embarrassed.

“It was a bad performance by everybody and just want to make sure we never have this feeling again,” Brady said during his postgame news conference at Kansas City. “I think there’s not much we are doing well enough on a consistent basis -- run game, pass game, consistently when we have to throw it, have to run it, convert on third down, red area. It’s all a problem.”

Brady finished the game 14-of-23 for 159 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions, one returned for a touchdown by Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah. Brady looked out of sync especially on a pass intended for wide receiver Julian Edelman that was overthrown and picked off by cornerback Sean Smith. Whether it was miscommunication, play calling, lack of rhythm or inconsistency, Brady and the offense just didn’t have it.

As the game went on, Brady continued to force passes, blaming himself after the game for pressing too hard on the pass that Abdullah returned for a touchdown.

Through four weeks the Patriots have shown an anemic offense that seemed to regress against the Chiefs and they have a tough road ahead of them.

“There’s no one that’s going to dig us out of this hole,” Brady said. “We kind of created it for ourselves. We are going to have to look each other in the eye, see what kind of commitment we are willing to make for each other and try to do a lot better.”

It doesn’t get any easier for the Patriots next week as they take on the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals, who are coming off of a bye week. Meanwhile, the Patriots have a short week, which Brady said he was glad to have so that the team can move forward.

“We have our work cut out for us,” Brady said. “We’ve got a great football team coming in this week that is undefeated. We have to play our best game certainly to beat them.”

Brady is more than aware of the team’s struggles and a brutal loss on Monday night puts the Patriots in the spotlight.

“There’s going to be a lot of negativities,” Brady said. “Everyone is going to tell us how terrible we are. That’s just the way it goes in the NFL. But we have a lot of character in our locker room.

“I know we are not going to quit. If there’s one thing, I can assure you of that. There’s not a guy in that locker room that’s going to quit. We stick together. We work on the things that we need to work on. We all feel we have a good football team. We just didn’t play like a good football team tonight. We will see what we are made of this week.”
