Week 3: Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints
Tom Brady versus Drew Brees is not the only matchup of living legends at the quarterback position we will see this regular season. Thanks to both the New Orleans Saints and the Green Bay Packers winning their respective divisions, we will get to see the Saints hosting the Packers early in the season.
Of course, there are bigger implications than just the matchup of two great quarterbacks. Both these teams made the playoffs a season ago and are expected to be in contention for playoff positions when all is said and done this season. But with the new playoff formation coming this season, getting the top overall seed – and the only first-round bye – is hugely critical. As such, this game, even coming so early in the league year, might have huge playoff implications.
