Baker Mayfield expressed that during Tom Brady's time with the Buccaneers, the environment was high-pressure and stressful. He mentioned, 'The building was a little bit different with Tom in there. Obviously, playing-wise, Tom is different. He had everybody dialed in, high-strung environment, so I think everybody was pretty stressed out. They wanted me to come in, be myself, bring the joy back to football, for guys who weren't having as much fun.'
Tom Brady responded to Mayfield's comments, stating, 'I thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings. So, there was a mindset of a champion that I took to work every day. This wasn't daycare. If I was going to have fun, I'd go to Disneyland with my kids. There's a way to approach this game and it's with the right mindset to try to push each other outside our comfort zone, and great teammates do that.'
