FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers really do have a lot in common.During this seasons first month, the star quarterbacks of the Patriots and Packers were facing questions about their teams slow starts.Its no coincidence New England and Green Bay are now playing at extremely high levels. Consistent, outstanding play by both QBs has their clubs on similar paths.Heading into Sundays showdown at Green Bays Lambeau Field, Bradys Patriots and Rodgers Packers are riding high in their respective conferences.New England (9-2) owns the AFCs best record, coming in riding a seven-game winning streak. NFC North-leading Green Bay (8-3) has won seven of eight.Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if he saw any similarities in how theyve elevated their play after the slow starts.They both wear No. 12, he said, breaking into a grin before he left the podium.Belichick was more expansive in praising Rodgers.Its just, hes great, he said. Hes quick, hes big, he throws the ball very accurately, has great vision down the field. He finds guys that theres not a lot of space, but he finds them and he hits them.Rodgers has thrown 30 touchdowns with just three interceptions this season, completing 66.7 per cent of his passes for an NFL-leading 119.2 QB rating. Since a 1-2 start, he has 25 TDs to two INTs, matching Bradys 2007 record of four straight games of three or more TDs with no interceptions.Hes the best quarterback Ive seen on tape, said New England safety Devin McCourty, who has already faced Denvers Payton Manning and Andrew Luck of Indianapolis this season.Hes the guy that commands that team, Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis said.Rodgers run started after he told Packers fans on his radio show in September: Five letters here, just for everybody out there in Packer land: R-E-L-A-X. Relaxe. Were going to be OK.He couldnt resist that answer when asked about the turnaround again this week.I think weve been pretty relaxed, he said, smiling.Bradys season isnt much different.Following a blowout loss in Kansas City on Week 4, his ability was questioned. He was asked if time had passed him by.Instead, during the winning streak, the 37-year-old has connected for 22 TDs with only four interceptions, completing 67.3 per cent of his passes.What we went through, we went through, and hopefully weve moved past that and were at a different point now, said the two-time MVP (2007 and 10). Like I said, you never want to ride the ups and downs of the season. There are going to be ups, and there are going to be downs, and there are going to be long nights. There are going to be sleepless nights, and youve just got to stay true to what youre doing.When they face off for the first time in their careers as starters, dont expect a lot of interceptions.Rodgers and Brady are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, all-time in TD/INT ratio.Even if youre not playing your best game, if youre not turning it over, your team is probably going to be in the mix, said Rodgers, the 2011 MVP. (If) youre being efficient and accurate and not turning the ball over, youre probably going to win a lot of games.Brady had a similar answer.I do think not throwing interceptions and not turning the ball over is hugely important to the success of the team, he said.Theyve both relied on scoring a lot early in games and enter this weekend as the NFLs only two unbeaten teams in the month.Green Bay has averaged 44 points in November and leads the league with 28 first-half TDs this season. New England, second in points during the month at 39.7, is right behind the Packers with 24 touchdowns before halftime.In their last two home games, the Packers have put up 50-plus points behind Rodgers combined nine TDs with no interceptions.Thats a big reason why theyre getting ahead at home because (when) they get ahead of you, you start to press, you turn it over, they convert into more touchdowns, and it just piles on, Brady said.They both grew up in California. They say they know each other well, and Rodgers said he learned a lot watching Brady.As a young player I liked to watch his film and study him, said Rodgers, who turns 31 on Tuesday.On Sunday, hell try to outdo him.___AP Sports Writer Genaro Armas contributed to this story from Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Then I saw (Venus) score and thought Wow shes winning, well I can do better, Serena Williams said after her 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 win. We always motivate each other.Shell have to be at the top of her game in the next round she meets No. 24 Garbine Muguruza, who beat her in the second round at the French Open last year.

In the 13 Grand Slam tournaments after her fourth-round appearance at Wimbledon that year, she skipped two and made first-round exits in four others, including the 2014 Australian Open.She was only two points from a third-round departure in the second set against Giorgi, serving at 30-30 in the ninth game, before working her way back into the contest. Giorgi contributed to her own demise with 16 double-faults.Well, this old cat has a few tricks left, Williams said in her on-court interview. Being back into the fourth round, feels fantastic especially when things happen in your life and its not in your control, so it definitely feels awesome to be here, and I dont want to leave it at that.
