New England vs. NY Giants… Patriots Another Historical Favorite

The 2019 Patriots are playing really well. They will probably win the game against the New York Jets, because their opponents will arrive in Foxborough without Sterling Shepard and Wayne Gallman. Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram are questionable.

But, this will be an important game for TB12.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady passed Brett Favre and took the third place on the NFL’s all-time passing yards list. He is 18 yards away from passing Peyton Manning into the No. 2 spot. TB12 has 71,923 yards over his career, but he still says it’s a team award.

“I consider all those team awards,” he said on sports radio WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show. “I have the privilege of playing with so many great players over the years, and representing our team and our coaches, and Mr. Kraft and his family. It’s been a privilege for me.

“I could never have imagined playing 20 years in the NFL. I could never have imagined everything that has happened over the course of my career. I’ve looked up to Brett. I’ve looked up to Peyton. There has been some really spectacular players who have played in the NFL. Again, I just love doing what I love doing. I love playing football. Hopefully I can keep it going, too.”

The Pats are playing the Giants on Thursday, and Brady is ready to go past Manning on the all-time passing charts.

“I just knew that every time we played a Peyton Manning-led team, you would have to be so good because you knew he was going to be. We had so many significant games over the years. It was an incredible rivalry,” he said.

“I think Peyton was one of the very best to play, obviously, that goes without saying. Any time you play those games, it feels different. Those games have kind of come and gone, which is pretty unique for me to see different players, and to see a different generation. I have a lot more perspective, I think, on the NFL now than 10 years ago. But yeah, I miss seeing him play. He was spectacular. He was the epitome of how to play quarterback in the NFL, and I learned a lot from him.”
