The NFL is set to release the 2020 schedule tonight, which means we’ll finally know who Tom Brady will face off against in his first game as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While Brady’s first game as a Buccaneer will be a memorable one for sure, it may be hard for him to top the Week 1 performance of former Bucs quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who went off against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome back in the 2018 opener.
With Jameis Winston serving a three-game suspension, Fitzpatrick took over the offense for the Bucs, and threw for 417 yards, four touchdowns and zero picks against New Orleans, while also rushing for 36 yards on 12 carries with one score. The Bucs would go on to stun the Saints 48-40.
Take a look back now at highlights from that game.
