Nearly half of the NFL, including the entire NFC West, has a 2-2 record heading into Week 5.

Tampa Bay, the team Tom Brady plays for, is among them. The three-time league MVP weighed in on why there are so many teams with .500 records on Thursday.

Tom Brady was asked about the parity in the NFL with so many teams currently 2-2. "I think there's a lot of bad football from what I watch. I watch a lot of bad football. Poor quality of football. That's what I see."

“I think there’s a lot of bad football from what I watch,” Brady said. “I watch a lot of bad football. Poor quality of football. That’s what I see.”

There’s only one division, the NFC East, that doesn’t have any 2-2 teams. The AFC East (Jets) and NFC North (Bears) each have one team at 2-2. Both teams are scheduled to play the Patriots this month.

After winning its first two games, Tampa Bay has dropped its last two. Kansas City put up 41 points on the Buccaneers a week after the Packers hung on for a two-point victory.
