Assuming Aaron Rodgers remains with the Green Bay Packers, arguably the most anticipated game of the 2021 NFL season will reportedly take place in Week 9.
Per B/R s Master Tesfatsion, the Packers are expected to play the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Packers-Chiefs matchup was among the games added to the schedule thanks to the formula adopted by the NFL when the league approved a 17-game regular season.
Rodgers future in Green Bay has become a great uncertainty. ESPN s Adam Schefter reported on April 29 that the three-time NFL MVP had informed some members of the organization that he doesn t want to play for the Packers anymore.
The Patriots will host Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4 Sunday, Oct. 3 on NBC s Sunday Night Football, Bleacher Report s Master Tesfatsion reported Wednesday.
The game will mark Brady s first trip to Gillette Stadium since leaving the Patriots in March 2020 to sign with the Bucs in free agency. Brady s history in New England six Super Bowl championships over 20 seasons and tenuous relationship with Bill Belichick should make this one of the most fascinating games of the season.
Brady also just won his seventh Super Bowl title, so the Patriots will have their hands full with the defending champion Bucs after going 7-9 last season.
