Brady at 40:Tom Brady is currently on pace for 5,224 passing yards and 35 TDs, both of which would be NFL records for a 40-year-old QB.

Problems against the pass: New England is the first team in NFL history to allow six straight 300-yard passing games to start a season.

Is Gronk the GOAT?:Rob Gronkowski has 30 TD receptions since 2014 (most among all NFL tight ends).
