Tom Brady‘s visit to New England on October 3 is the most anticipated game of this NFL season, with Brady and the defending champion Buccaneers returning to the place where he won his first six Super Bowls. But it could be a historic occasion for another reason that is as much about the Patriots’ starting quarterback as about Brady.
If rookie Mac Jones is the Patriots’ starter, his matchup with Brady would set a new NFL record for the largest age difference between starting quarterbacks in NFL history. Brady will turn 44 on August 3, while Jones will turn 23 on September 5.
