At long last, here we are—the start of the 2023 NFL Regular Season and the Vikings’ opening game of the year at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s a Bucs team that is not defending a Super Bowl title and does not have The G.O.A.T., seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady behind center. Unless he somehow un-retires this week.
No, no, we are safe to assume that the “Old Goat” is finally out to pasture and one Baker Mayfield is in orange and pewter and now quarterbacking the Bucs. That’s a decidedly different prospect.
