They have five MVPs, six Super Bowl titles, 19 Pro Bowl selections and five first-team All-Pro honors between them. Aim Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have just one previous matchup heading into their game on Sunday night.
Since 2001, Brady's New England Patriots have the best record in the NFL (215-65). Since 2008, Rodgers' Green Bay Packers have the best record in the NFC (103-62-2).
That sets the stage for a game-changing matchup between the two best national television audiences.
Follow along here in the night for the second – and perhaps final – matchup between these two great quarterbacks.
The great debate
Score: Patriots 7, Packers 3
Red-zone issues get the Packers again. They came into the game just converting 52.2 percent into touchdowns, which was 20th in the NFL. They settle for a field goal on the first drive that stalls at the 11th.

Score: Patriots 7, Packers 0
On the Patriots' opening drive for a touchdown, the team was in its three-receiver package throughout and upped the tempo. RB James White was on the field for all 10 snaps and capped it off with the 8-yard run for a touchdown. White has arguably been the Patriots' MVP through the first half of the season, having played 57 percent of the offensive snaps.

pregame
Aaron Rodgers did not appear to have a knee brace on during warmups. If he plays without it, it will be the first time since the Week 1 injury to his left knee.
