Broncos' Aqib Talib: Nobody is above Tom Brady
Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib has played with or against the a lot of elite quarterbacks, but in his mind, no one compares to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

The feeling is likely mutual. Brady only targeted Talib three times -- he allowed one reception for five yards – in the Broncos’ Week 12 win over the Patriots.
Talib was teammates with Brady during the 2012 and 2013 seasons before he signed a six-year, $57 million contract with the Broncos in 2014.
