FOXBORO — There’s a difference between being injured and being hurt.
Some players can’t avoid the former, and it keeps them sidelined. With the latter, some play through the pain while others only take the field if they’re 100 percent.
Tom Brady is not one of those players.
On Sunday against the Cowboys, Brady likely will become the first quarterback in NFL history to have two streaks of 100 straight regular-season starts.
It’s a feat Brady views as a team accomplishment, too.
“Well, I’m happy I’m available to my team,” Brady said. “I think that’s something I’ve always taken a lot of pride in, so trying to be out there and be a consistent, dependable player and certainly being available to those guys is what my job is.
