The Patriots released their schedule for the 2021-22 season on Wednesday, which includes games against the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers will, of course, be the big draw as Tom Brady makes his return to Foxboro as a reigning Super Bowl champion (again). Brady and the Buccaneers will face the Patriots on Oct. 3.
