A showdown between two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks went on display in Foxboro last night, and in the end it was the five-time super bowl winner coming away with the victory as the New England Patriots topped the Green Bay Packers 31-17 in the first match up between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers since 2014.

David Price's major league career has already spanned ten years. It includes a Cy Young Award and a trip to the World Series, but in all that time he had never won a start in the playoffs.

Jackie Bradley Jr. played home run hero again, but the Boston Red Sox didn't secure their third win of the American League Championship series against the Houston Astros until left fielder Andrew Benintendi made a daring, diving catch of a low line drive for the final out of the game in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded.

Don't let the final score fool you. The Boston Red Sox 8-2 win over the Houston Astros last night was a nail-biter.
