PATRIOTS TO HONOR TOM BRADY
For two decades, Patriots fans were privileged to watch Tom Brady break every passing record in franchise history and deliver 16 division titles, nine conference championships and six Super Bowl victories to New England. After Brady announced his retirement on February 1, Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft invited him to return to Gillette Stadium for the 2023 season opener to give Patriots fans an opportunity to more appropriately thank him for his many accomplishments during his career. Fans will have that opportunity when Brady addresses the crowd during a halftime ceremony at Sunday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. The halftime festivities will also be streamed live on Patriots.com and the Patriots official social accounts on Facebook, X and YouTube.SERIES HISTORY
