Tom Brady and Tampa Bay Buccaneers given five prime-time games in 2020 NFL season [View all]

Brady and his new team have inevitably been thrust into the spotlight immediately, having been lined up for five prime-time games during the 17-week regular season.

Five nationally televised games in one season is a franchise record for the Buccaneers, one more than the team had in 2003 after it won the Super Bowl.

The Bucs' first prime-time appearance comes in week five against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

The team then have a one week break before returning to prime-time for three consecutive weeks, the first coming against the Las Vegas Raiders at the newly built Allegiant Stadium.

According to Associated Press, television networks and NFL schedule makers have been "scrambling" to rework their schedules in order to give Brady and his new team more visibility.

“I can’t think of a single player move ever that adjusted requests and turned the process upside down as much as this,” said Fox Sports senior vice president Michael Mulvihill about Brady signing with Tampa Bay. “I think the league treated everyone well with Tampa Bay because they knew how great everyone’s interest was. It was a significant curveball.”

According to the links, Tampa Bay had already been assigned two primetime games.

Does Brady's signing automatically guarantee the Bucs play competitive games, worth watching in prime time? I guess we'll find out.

I don't care if Brady plays or not. I want to watch good games.
