Since returning from his four-game suspension to start the season, it has been a great season for Patriots Tom Brady. Due to his success individually, and the success of the Patriots, Brady is being mentioned as a possible MVP candidate.

This season, Brady has totaled 16 touchdown passes, one interception, and a ridiculous 70.4 completion percentage. As the Jets continue to struggle to find a quarterback, Brady continues to play at an MVP level for the Patriots.

Stopping the passing attack of opposing teams has been a nightmare for the Jets this season, as they rank 19th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game. Prior to playing the Rams, they were ranked much lower, but that game helped improve their statistics.

In Week 12, the Jets secondary will be tasked with stopping the best quarterback in the NFL. After struggling to stop pretty much everyone this season, it’s hard to imagine that the Jets will be able to figure out a way to slow down Brady.

A motivated Brady is a scary one to face, and he will be trying to continue to make a statement this season with a big game against the Jets. After throwing for four touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, Brady will have the potential to do that in Week 12 against the Jets.
