New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has set the NFL record for consecutive pass attempts without an interception. Brady broke the mark of 308 attempts without a pick previously set by Cleveland's Bernie Kosar over the 1990-91 seasons with his 17th attempt in the third quarter of New England's game against Buffalo on Sunday. It came on a short pass over the middle that tight end Rod Gronkowski dropped at the goal line. The two then hooked up for an 8-yard TD on the next play to put the Patriots up 31-3. Brady has thrown only four interceptions this season, his last coming nine games ago when he threw two in a 23-20 win over Baltimore on Oct. 17. Source: Associated Press
I think we've had like 7 games in a row without a turnover, which is crazy stuff. They should set the all time record for fewest turnovers in a season which is 13. I believe they are at 9.
Congrats to Brady. Does anyone else notice that football is starting to enter into the world of baseball like stat keeping? I remember hearing an announcer say last season during the playoffs that a pick thrown by Brady was the 1st he had thrown in the 1st qtr of a playoff game. I hope we don't descend into stats being like " most carries by a FB out of the I-formation, by an AFC north team visting an AFC East team during the 1pm game in the 10th week of the season."
