The new NFL season kicks off on Thursday as the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by Tom Brady, face "America's Team," the Dallas Cowboys, led by Dak Prescott.

This season, Brady and the Bucs may face challenges on the road to a repeat:

– Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who lost to Brady in Super Bowl LV

– Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, who fell to Brady in the National Football Conference Championship Game

– The Los Angeles Rams, who landed Matthew Stafford by giving up Jared Goff and two future first-round draft picks

– The Tennessee Titans, who introduced Julio Jones from the Atlanta Falcons
