May 13—We knew it was going to happen eventually, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots versus Tom Brady and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers were on listed on the Patriots' future opponents schedule for 2021 three years ago. And, of course, Brady officially left in March of 2020, forcing us to look ahead at their future matchup as soon as the signing was official.
Now we really know.
Sunday, October 3. At Gillette Stadium. In Foxboro. Ball in the air, end over end, at 8:20 p.m.
Wow.
This is different now.
