Both Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have suffered a long, dark losing streak this season. However, both quarterbacks were able to pull up their team by the bootstraps when it mattered most. That said, one NFL analyst has expressed belief in one quarterback over the other.

Speaking on Pro Football Talk, NFL analyst Mike Florio decided to back Tom Brady over Aaron Rodgers.

Here's how he put it:

"The Buccaneers can still have a special season. They're another team that can create havoc in the postseason and I believe more in them right now, frankly, than in the Packers. All of a sudden, they're the team they were two years ago."

He continued, explaining why he believed in the Buccaneers over the Packers:

"The defense is playing well. They're getting production in the running game. Rachaad White, they're using just enough for him to piss off Leonard Fournette, just enough to play better than he was. Tom Brady is still Tom Brady."
