FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers really do have a lot in common.
They've both relied on scoring a lot early in games and enter this weekend as the NFL's only two unbeaten teams in the month.
Instead, during the winning streak, the 37-year-old has connected for 22 TDs with only four interceptions, completing 67.3 percent of his passes.
Rodgers has thrown 30 touchdowns with just three interceptions this season, completing 66.7 percent of his passes for an NFL-leading 119.2 QB rating. Since a 1-2 start,Jerseys NFL Wholesale China, he has 25 TDs to two INTs, matching Brady's 2007 record of four straight games of three or more TDs with no interceptions.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if he saw any similarities in how they've elevated their play after the slow starts.
"That's a big reason why they're getting ahead at home because (when) they get ahead of you, you start to press, you turn it over, they convert into more touchdowns, and it just piles on," Brady said. |
