New Orleans Saints (5-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2)

8:20 PM ET

So when does everyone start apologizing to Tom Brady for calling him a “system quarterback” all these years? The verified GOAT left Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this past offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the two franchises have gone in wildly different directions.

Brady has the Bucs at 6-2 and in first place, while the Patriots are spiraling out of control, still trying to figure out what exactly Cam Newton is at this stage in his career (news flash, he’s just not very good anymore!).

Watching Brady reunite with the returning Antonio Brown will certainly be a storyline of its own, but in general just watching two well-run football teams battle it out on Sunday Night Football should be a good time.

After eight straight weeks of watching the Philadelphia Eagles labor down the field just to miss a field goal, we all deserve a week of Drew Brees and Brady lighting it up on primetime.

Brady and Brees are also neck-and-neck for the all time passing TD record, which is its own storyline entirely.

Next. The Philadelphia Eagles could really use a guy like Robby Anderson. dark

Whatever you end up watching come Sunday afternoon, try your best to enjoy every second of it. Come next week, we’re right back on the wagon as the Eagles take on the Giants for the second time this season.

I’m sure that game will go perfectly smoothly!
