There has never been a game quite like Tom Brady’s return to Foxborough with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to face off against Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in the 2021 season.
Brady had already won a Super Bowl in the previous season with the Buccaneers, but his meeting with Belichick was all about legacy. He wanted to prove to his former coach that he could beat him in a head-to-head matchup. Sure, it was a team game, but make no mistake, all eyes were on Brady matching wits with Belichick’s defense.
It was a tough matchup that ended with the Buccaneers pulling out a 19-17 victory, Brady got the win, but Belichick’s defense held him to 269 yards passing and no touchdowns.
