Tom Brady and the reigning Super Bowl champions open the 2021 season with a prime-time matchup against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. The Bucs return all 22 starters from the squad that finished last season on an eight-game winning streak, including a 31-9 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Prescott returns to lead the Cowboys for the first time since a severe ankle injury last October ended his 2020 season. The Bucs are hoping to become the first repeat champions since Brady led the 2003 and 2004 Patriots to back-to-back titles.
