TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will begin their Super Bowl defense against the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday, Sept. 9, at Raymond James Stadium, but all eyes will be on Tom Brady's return to Foxboro on Oct. 3.
The Week 4 game on Sunday Night Football will mark Brady's first meeting against the Patriots since he signed with the Bucs as a free agent last offseason, leaving behind the legacy he had built in New England, where he played 20 seasons and won six of his seven Super Bowl titles.
