Patriots' Tom Brady Wins Record-Setting 19th Consecutive Divisional Home Game

Playing in his 200th career game, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady guided his team to a 27-25 victory over the New York Jets, setting an all-time record for starting quarterbacks with his 19th consecutive win in an intradivision home game, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Brady had previously been tied at 18 such victories with Brett Favre, whose streak came for the Green Bay Packers in the old NFC Central from 1994 to 1998. Favre and the Packers beat up on the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in that division, until the famous 1998 Vikings put an end to the streak on their way to a 15-1 record.

Brady's 19-game run has a bit of a quirk, as it's actually three games longer than the Patriots' 16-game intradivision winning streak as a team. The future Hall of Famer hasn't lost a home game in the AFC East since 2006, but his team lost at home to both the Jets and Miami Dolphins under the direction of Matt Cassel in 2008, when Brady missed all but the first game of the season due to a torn ACL.

In addition to the ongoing divisional streak, the Patriots have now won 33 consecutive intraconference home games, which is easily a league record since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, according to the team's official website. The second-longest such streak was just 21 games, compiled by the Miami Dolphins from 1971 to 1974.
