For the second time in four games this season, the Buccaneers returned to primetime action on Sunday night, visiting the Patriots in Foxborough for what was a long-awaited homecoming for Tom Brady.
Brady, who signed with Tampa Bay over a year and a half ago after spending the first 20 seasons of his career with New England, returned to Gillette Stadium for the first time as an opposing player in this Sunday Night Football matchup. And the 44-year-old made that return with plenty of history at stake. With 68 passing yards, he would become the NFL’s all-time passing yards leader.
