In case you somehow have escaped the hype thus far, this Sunday night marks one of the most eagerly anticipated NFL matchups in recent memory.
Tom Brady is set to lead the defending Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers into Foxborough, Massachusetts, to face his former team, the New England Patriots.
It will be the first time Brady opposes the Patriots, whom he guided to six Super Bowl championships in 20 seasons. The game also will provide a delicious chess match between Brady and former coach Bill Belichick, one of the great defensive minds in pro football history.
Tampa Bay is a 6½-point favorite over New England, according to Tipico Sportsbook.
With all that in mind, Touchdown Wire ranks the 12 greatest revenge games in NFL history below.
