NEW YORK (AP) – It’s unanimous: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are the top team in the NFL.

The Patriots (9-2) received all 12 first-place votes Tuesday in the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.

The Patriots have won seven games in a row, almost all of them by comfortable margins.

“The Brady-Belichick Express rolls on toward Glendale,” the Tampa Tribune’s Ira Kaufman said, referring to the location of this season’s Super Bowl.

Green Bay (8-3) moved up a spot to No. 2 after holding off the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 on Sunday.
