For the first time since late 2020, the Buccaneers are coming off of a loss. With their 10-game winning streak snapped last Sunday at the hands of the Rams, they’ll head into Foxborough for a Sunday Night Football matchup with the Patriots at 2-1 on the year.
There’s no doubt that this week’s game between Tampa Bay and New England has been circled on calendars by everyone across the football world since the 2021 schedule was released. In fact, when Tom Brady signed with the Bucs in March 2020, it was quickly pointed out that he and his new team were set to face Bill Belichick and his old team in 2021.
