Tom Brady Now Active Leader In Consecutive Games With TD Pass After Drew Brees' Nightmare In Atlanta

BOSTON (CBS) -- Thursday night's Saints-Falcons game will likely have zero impact on the 2012 Patriots, but Tom Brady was uniquely affected by the performance of Drew Brees.

Brees entered the game having thrown a touchdown in 54 consecutive games, an NFL record. He passed Johnny Unitas earlier this season by throwing a touchdown against the Chargers, passing Unitas' mark of 47 straight games with a touchdown pass.
