Tom Brady’s arrival in Florida in the offseason was met with much fanfare. He signed a two-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worth almost $60 million (including bonuses). Tom Brady is expected to lead the Bucs to the playoffs this season. With a 3-1 record, the Florida-based outfit is on-track to make it to the post-season.
On the other hand, Nick Foles joined Matt Nagy’s Chicago Bears in a trade deal from Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this year. He started the season as the back-up behind youngster Mitchell Trubisky. However, Nagy announced that Foles would start in Week Four after an impressive display against Atlanta Falcons the week before.
Foles underperformed last weekend as the Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts. Now, Brady and Foles will set a new NFL record when they start for their respective teams on Thursday night.

The last time Tom Brady and Nick Foles played against each other was back in the Super Bowl LII two years ago. Back then, Foles was the starting quarterback for Philadelphia Eagles, while Brady was the number one choice for Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots.
On Thursday night, these two veterans will become the first pair of quarterbacks in NFL history to start in a Super Bowl and play each other in the regular season with different teams.
