No, Tom Brady is no longer playing in a Patriots uniform. For the first in nearly two decades, New England will go into a season without Brady as the obvious Week 1 starter.
However, the league goes on and so does Brady’s career. Now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the quarterback will have many Patriots fans following the remainder of his career. And, that new chapter starts in Week 1.
With the NFL releasing the league schedule tonight during their schedule release event, fans and teams will find out exactly who their opponents will be for each week. Some of those reports have slowly started to come out, including one regarding the Buccaneers Week 1 match-up.
Tampa Bay will travel to take on New Orleans in the first week of the 2020 campaign, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The game is scheduled to kick-off at 4:25 p.m. ET on September 13.
Brees and Brady have faced off five times in their long careers. Brady has won the two most recent match-ups, however, Brees came out on top in the first three bouts. This will be a great game to open the season for both teams. Fans should be ecstatic to see two of the best quarterbacks in NFL history face-off with their high-powered offenses. It will be a great test to see just how well Brady can perform with the weapons around him.
