The NFL is set to release its schedule for the 2021 season this week and fans will be waiting with great anticipation to see how difficult the New England Patriots’ 17-game slate (that still feels weird to say) will be.
What we know for sure about the Patriots’ schedule, however, is that they will play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at some point, signifying Tom Brady’s first return to Foxborough since he departed as a free agent last offseason.
