The NFL announced this morning that the Bucs will play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football on October 2. It'll be a rematch from Super Bowl LV and the sixth time Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes will face off. Brady has a 3 games to 2 lead in the faceoff. I'm sure Mahomes would love nothing more than to tie it up before Tom Brady hangs up the jersey and moves on to his next job.
CBS Sports reports that tonight's schedule will be a lot different than originally drawn up because of Tom Brady. NFL broadcasting chief Howard Katz said an in interview with the LA Times that once Brady decided to play another season, the entire schedule was scrapped and the league started all over from scratch.

Against my better judgment, I whipped out the plastic to buy tickets for the Bucs game Thursday night. I didn't go to the Super Bowl so I figured I earned the right to splurge. What. A. Game.
Remembering why I hate going to football games live...
Ray Jay is sold out for the season already!
Not a lot of masks worn unfortunately... but it was an outdoor event.

One of my favorite viewing spots at Ray Jay.
The pewter and gold fireworks were awesome!
Let's do this!
Tom Brady with the potty mouth: "Let's Freakin' Go" *
* He may not have said freakin'.
Boom!
Yup. I had to rep my Bolts. Sorry.
It looked much smaller on TV.
The no smoking policy was not enforced.
TB12 throws his first TD of the season!
Go Bucs!
I almost wore the same thing. That would've been awkward.
Game winning field goal!
Time for Tom Brady magic?
Down 29-28, the Bucs would have to march down the field with only a minute to go. Could they do it? DUH. We have Tom Brady. Of course we did.
Football is back baby!
