GREEN BAY, Wis. — They spent most of their careers in homes located across the NFL. This is not Tom Brady against Peyton Manning. It isn’t even Tom Brady against Eli Manning.
Outside of a Super Bowl matchup long dreamt but never realized, Brady and Aaron Rodgers shared the field too infrequently to forge a rivalry.
That never kept the two future first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famers from being the center of all-time quarterback conversations for the past decade. Brady and Rodgers have been the face of the NFL through different conferences, different play styles, even different legacies.
