The NFL season is coming up and these five games will be fantastic.

Football is on its way back and the NFL has been operating as if it will start on time even with the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing. The league released its schedule back in May, which offers fans their first glimpse at the biggest games of the year.

All 256 games have some intrigue, but there are five that will clearly be a cut above the rest. Let’s break them down, beginning with a matchup between Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

Week 9: New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The NFL world turned upside down when Brady signed in Tampa Bay, giving the Buccaneers new life as a contender. The Bucs haven’t made the postseason since 2007, the second-longest drought in the NFL, and that could easily change this season.

One of their biggest games comes in Week 9 when the New Orleans Saints come to town for a Sunday Night Football showdown. This matchup between future Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks could have a massive influence on the NFC South race, which will begin when the two teams meet in Week 1.

The Saints and Buccaneers could be poised for a shootout here, which will be a lot of fun for football fans everywhere. Make sure to plan a night in on Nov. 8 to check out this game.
