On Thursday, the NFL announced its monthly awards for the month of September as Quarterback Tom Brady and Placekicker Stephen Gostkowski took home AFC honors during the Patriots 3-0 start to the season.
In September, Brady threw for a league leading 1,112 passing yards to go along with nine touchdowns, second only to Aaron Rogers ten. It is the eighth time in Brady’s career he has earned an Offensive Player of the Month award which ties an NFL record shared with Peyton Manning.
Boston Globe Patriots writer Ben Volin summed Brady’s month up best with this tweet.
