NFL exec explains why Tom Brady vs. Patriots game is in Week 4
Brady reacted Thursday morning on Twitter to the upcoming matchup using a clever analogy:
Well played, Tom.

"I started salivating when I saw that we’re playing the Patriots in the fourth game of the season, and we’re coming up here to make our record 4-0," Brady Sr. said Thursday on 98.5 The Sports Hub show "Zolak & Bertrand". " ... We expect to beat the Patriots rather handily, frankly."
The hype surrounding this game is already pretty high, and it's only going to grow larger as Brady's return to New England nears.
