Drew Brees and Tom Brady will face off in Week 1 when the Saints host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's according to Nick Underhill with NewOrleans.football. The NFL will officially release the full 2020 schedule during a three-hour primetime special on ESPN.
Brady, the six-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, signed with Tampa in April, leaving the New England Patriots in free agency after spending 20 years in Foxborough. Brady, 42, and Brees, 41, are the two all-time leading passers in NFL history. Brees leads in that category by a little less than 3,000 yards (77,416 to Brady's 74,571).
Assuming the full season is played and both Brees and Brady remain healthy, they will face each other a second time later in the season when the Saints travel to play their division rival.
