Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are headed into a key Week 9 matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. It is a game that fans cannot wait to watch, as two of the best quarterbacks of all-time will go up against each other.
Despite how big this game is being hyped up to be, Brady doesn't think that it is as big as it is being made.
In an interview with Westwood One shared by Pro Football Talk, Brady talked about the game and made it clear that this is not the Super Bowl.
“I’m excited for the game. There’s high stakes for both teams. I don’t want to make it anything more than it is. This isn’t the Super Bowl. This isn’t a playoff game. If you lose, the season isn’t over, but all these games are important. We’re going against a team that [has] very little margin of error, against a quarterback who can come back and score points in seconds, so I’m excited to try to play our best against a great team.”
Brady and Rodgers are expected to put on a show this week. Both defenses are known to give up big plays and both quarterbacks love to take shots. That promises fans the opportunity to see one of the best football games of the year.
Green Bay is in desperate need of a win this week to keep pace in the NFC playoff race. New England, on the other hand, is 6-2 on the season and once again appear to be one of the top teams in the AFC. Kansas City is the only other team at this point in the season that could be better on paper.
All of that being said, this is just a regular season game that could have a huge impact on the rest of each team's season. If the Packers can get the win, it could very well be the momentum booster that they need to get on a winning streak that leads to a playoff berth.
