FRISCO, Texas –- Tom Brady: Dallas Cowboys slayer. Fans of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills have suffered longer, since Brady was the New England Patriots' quarterback from 2000 to 2019.
Brady won 66 of a possible 76 games against his former AFC East rivals in his career. But he has tormented the Cowboys, too – six games, six wins.
The Cowboys’ 2022 season opens the same as last season – against Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in prime time, though it's the Cowboys' turn to play host at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (8:20 p.m.
ET, NBC). Ready for kickoff? Sign up now to play with friends and family. Get started >> If the Cowboys are going to finally beat Brady and become the first team to repeat as NFC East champions since the 2003-04 Philadelphia Eagles, the defense – not the offense – will have to be the centerpiece.
