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, others can’t play through it and will only take the field if they’re 100 percent.
Tom Brady is not one of those players.
Sunday against the Cowboys, Brady could become the first quarterback in NFL history to make 100 straight regular-season starts twice in his career.
It’s an individual achievement that Brady views as a team one, 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.
