With the Patriots going 4-1 in the head-to-head tally against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they will surely look forward to adding one more number to their winning streak. Although, the Patriots were under the influence of Tom Brady in each one of their previous four clashes against the Bucs.
Now with Brady switching sides, will the Patriots be able to produce the same result? If they do, it will certainly be an accomplishment for the young Patriots QB Mac Jones, whose season so far hasn’t produced the results that he was hyped for during the preseason.
