Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19, New England Patriots 17

Brady's return 

Ahead of the game, Brady greeted some familiar faces.

As he took the field for the first time, ahead of the Buccaneers' opening drive, Brady was met with a wave of boos from the boisterous crowd in New England.

Midway through the first quarter, Brady passed Drew Brees (80,358) for most passing yards in NFL history with this 28-yard completion to Mike Evans, which led to a field goal for Tampa Bay.
