Asked after the loss to the Steelers and their second-string secondary what was his message to his teammates, the profanity-laced berating of his O-line aside, Brady said, “We have to score more points.” That's the rallying cry across the league where a dozen teams are averaging fewer than 20 points per game and the 49ers are just outside that mark along with the Bucs. “It doesn't matter who you're playing, if you're not making the plays, it doesn't matter if it's the Steelers or the Chiefs for the Packers or the Saints," Brady said.
