During this season’s first month, the star quarterbacks of the Patriots and Packers were facing questions about their teams’ slow starts. Heading into Sunday’s showdown at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field, Brady’s Patriots and Rodgers’ Packers are riding high in their respective conferences. New England (9-2) owns the AFC’s best record, coming in riding a seven-game winning streak. Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if he saw any similarities in how they’ve elevated their play after the slow starts. 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, he has 25 TDs to two picks, matching Brady’s 2007 record of four straight games of three or more TDs with no interceptions. Rodgers’ run started after he told Packers fans on his radio show in September: Five letters here, just for everybody out there in Packer land: [...] during the winning streak, the 37-year-old has connected for 22 TDs with only four interceptions, completing 67.3 percent of his passes. “As a young player I liked to watch his film and study him,” said Rodgers, who turns 31 on Tuesday.
