Two of the best quarterbacks in football will get together Sunday night when the Indianapolis Colts play host to the New England Patriots. One of the all-time great quarterbacks, three-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady will battle the player most believe will be the next legendary signal-caller, Andrew Luck.

Brady had nothing but good things to say about Luck leading into the match up.

“He’s a great player, in his third year, and he’s had a lot of success,” Brady said Wednesday via Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston. “Their offense is doing a great job this year; they score a lot of points [averaging a league-high 32.2 per game], especially at home. He’s kind of the ringleader. He does a lot of things I wish I could do.”

In fact, Brady wishes he was a little more like Luck.

“He’s big, fast, shrugs off blockers. He makes a lot of extended plays,” Brady said. “He’s a great passer. I think they’ve thrown for more yards [3,105] at this point in the year than any other team in history. It speaks to what they’re doing offensively, and it’s a great challenge for our defense. We’re going to have to score a lot. When you play another great offense, you’re going to have to put up a lot of points, similar to our last game [against Denver]. We realize we have a big job, too.

“My focus is on the other side of the ball, but you also know you’re not going to be able to score 13 points and win the game.”

The two squared off in the Divisional round of the playoffs in 2014 and the Patriots defeated the Colts 43-22.

The Patriots have won five straight, rebounding from a 2-2 start while the Colts enter with a record of 6-3.

The two will kick-off at 8:25 pm ET and the game is on NBC.
