For the first time in 20 years, Tom Bra B D will wear a different uniform on Sunday.
Brady has become so accustomed to wearing his No. 12 jersey with the brand new Patriots logo that he guided them to six Super Bowl titles after being selected in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. But in 2020, one of the most bizarre years in recent memory, Brady’s decision to take a holiday is not surprising.

At the start of Brady’s Week 1 on Sunday, Fame quarterback Future Hall of Famer Drew Bryce and Saints’ Future Hall of Fame will play in the colors of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in New Orleans.

New Orleans Saints: What to know about the team’s 2020 season
Brice, who has led the Saints to three straight NFC North titles, will have his work cut out for him this year, especially as many feel his window for the championship is almost closed. The Saints, coming back later to finish 13-3, have been the only winning team in the division in the last two seasons.
New leans, the latest memory has the wrong side of every result of the plasfs. Three years ago, the Saints gave the Minnesota Vikings the Hale Mary, and the outgoing giant receiver Stephen Diggs. The following season, a terrific no-call call in the NFC title game against the Los Angeles Rams prevented the Saints from reaching the Super Bowl, and last year, New Orleans once again fell into the hands of the Vikings, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who led the way for overtime victory.

The Buccaneers, on the other hand, finished with a 7-9 record in 2019, behind quarterback James Winston, who finished 5,109 passing yards and a touchdown career of 33 touchdowns. However, he was able to throw league-high 30 interceptions, with five missing, who decided to ease head coach Bruce Arians after Brady.
A year later, Winston left Tampa Bay and signed with the Saints to back Bruce.
Once Brady signed with the Buchananers, former teammate and star Tate & Rob Gronkowski was not disappointed, and the Patriots traded to Tampa Bay.

Add Gronkowski to a mix of weapons that include wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and running back Leonard Fornett, who was signed by the team just last week after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Buccaneers have ordered most of the division’s headlines as headlines, but the Saints will have to say something when the two division rivals close in New Orleans on Sunday afternoon.
