After a storied 20-year career with the New England Patriots, Tom Brady returns to Foxborough for the 1st time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This is different than any other player’s “return game” or “revenge game” in NFL history. Tom Brady will play in New England as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting QB for the first time after two decades of unprecedented success alongside the greatest football Head Coach to ever live. They won a NFL-record six Super Bowls together while Belichick has two more as the Giants DC (1986 & 1990) and Brady added one more in Tampa (2020). No matter how it plays out, Tom Brady’s return is one of the most anticipated games of all time.

Belichick & Brady are the greatest HC/QB duo BY FAR
COLORS KEY | FULL BUCCANEERS OUTLOOK
1. HOW WILL DEFENSIVE MASTERMIND BILL BELICHICK DEFEND TOM BRADY?
What makes this regular season matchup so legendary is that it isn’t just the greatest player returning to his old team. He’s also returning to face the greatest coach of all-time who is known to be a defensive genius while TB12 has an offensive juggernaut in Tampa Bay. Look for how legendary HC Bill Belichick will scheme against Brady.
To beat Tom Brady, Bill knows defenses must rush four, stop Brady’s quick decision-making with press coverage, and then hope the pass rush gets to him, which is why Bill might try to employ some of his signature blitz packages to try to throw off his former QB.
2. TOM BRADY PASSING DREW BREES FOR NFL’S ALL-TIME PASSING RECORD
The list of Tom Brady’s achievements will most likely grow this weekend, as he’s very likely to set the record for the most passing yards of all time before the first quarter is even over. Currently, Brady trails Drew Brees by 68 yards, which is guaranteed to happen as long as he plays the game. Tom Brady is definitively the most accomplished Quarterback of all-time and this record is icing on the cake. Brady has certainly cemented his case for Canton given his unprecedented NFL career.
3. TB12 & AB REVENGE GAME IN FOXBOROUGH
Despite differences in time and impact, Tom Brady and Antonio Brown are playing the Patriots for the first time since they left. Brady and Brown are as determined as ever to get a win since both left with somewhat of a bad taste in their mouth. AB could easily hit his 45.5 REC YDS prop bet, given the Pats don’t have elite CB Stephon Gilmore and Tampa’s without TB’s safety blanket Rob Gronkowski, making AB a prime target. This game is meaningful for both sides and should not disappoint.
