After a gauntlet that features the Saints, Rams, Seahawks, and Browns in the first four games, Atlanta’s not getting a breather. Instead, they’ll pack up their bags and head south to the soupy air of Florida in October, facing off against the defending NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I had high hopes this would be the offseason that the Bucs crashed back down to earth, but the roster still unfortunately looks very formidable. Rob Gronkowski has retired—again—and Tom Brady is in truly unprecedented waters, as he’ll take the field as the oldest quarterback ever to start an NFL game this fall.
