A matchup of the highest profile -- featuring the reigning world champions against perhaps the most popular team in the football world -- will kick off the 2021 NFL season.
Tom Brady and the Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers will commence their quest to repeat against the visiting Dallas Cowboys when they open up the 2021 season at Raymond James Stadium at 8:20 p.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 9 on NBC, the NFL announced Wednesday. The complete 2021 regular-season schedule will be revealed tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app.
As the 2020 season reached its conclusion at Super Bowl LV in Tampa with the Buccaneers hoisting the Lombardi Trophy, the 2021 campaign will begin anew in the same place with those same Bucs taking centerstage.
The game's also prognosticated to see the long-awaited return of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott after he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 of the 2020 campaign. After a 6-10 season, Dallas is no doubt ecstatic at the prospects of Prescott's return.
Not since the 1977 Oakland Raiders has a Super Bowl-winning team returned all 22 starters as the Buccaneers are doing. With general manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians having carried out their offseason agenda to a tee, how it plays out on the field will begin to come to fruition on the second Thursday in September.
Brady has Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski back and at his disposal along with a stellar offensive line, while the often-overlooked defense will once more be led by standouts Lavonte David, Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.
While the Bucs are on a quest for back-to-back titles, the Cowboys are coming off back-to-back playoff-less seasons, which seems like an eternity in Big D, especially with a star-laden roster.
This game might well feature the two best WR corps in all the NFL land as the Buccaneers are countered by the Cowboys' Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb.
However, the looming question for the Cowboys is their defense and new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn will certainly have an arduous initial test game-planning to stop the G.O.A.T.
In his long and storied tenure with the New England Patriots, Brady was 5-0 against the Cowboys, though he has squared off opposite Prescott just once. That was a 2019 meeting in which Brady had the only touchdown pass in a 13-9 Patriots win. This Thursday night showcase portends to a much more high-scoring affair.
Brady's offensive bunch was a mercurial entity for a good portion of the 2020 campaign before ironing out the wrinkles and finding its championship form amid their title run. With title belts around their waists, the Buccaneers are aiming for more and the Cowboys, led by the returning Prescott, will be their first test.
