Tom was injured on September 7, 2008, in the first quarter of the first game. This will end the third-longest consecutive games started by a NFL quarterback streak at 128. It also ends the NFL record for most consecutive regualr season wins by a starting QB at 20.
On January 6, 2008, Tom was a near-unanimous selection as The Associated Press 2007 NFL MVP, collecting 49 of the possible 50 votes. Brett Favre of the Packers was the only other player to receive a vote.
Brady: I have always been a huge football fan and will always have great respect for the history of this game. I am grateful to all of the voters for any consideration I was given. It is a tremendous honor and I am sure it is one that my family will one day look back on with great pride. (On his first AP MVP Award)
