Brady returns as a defending champion with the Buccaneers, anxious to vindicate himself for the franchise not paying him what he demanded. And the fans are equally excited, more than any other NFL regular-season game in history.

Fans are clearly champing at the bit to see Tom Brady face off with the man who was his mentor in the league – Bill Belichick. Belichick was Brady’s coach with the New England Patriots during his 19-year stint with the franchise.

During their time together, they found great success in the NFL, winning 6 Super Bowl titles together. Both brought out the best in each other, making each other the best in their respective positions.
