Everyone is excited for Tom Brady's upcoming return to Gillette Stadium with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the New England Patriots cannot afford to look past their Week 3 opponent.

For a lot of teams, this matchup would be considered a trap game. That said, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a master at preparing his players, so you can bet their focus won't be an issue Sunday.
