Early on Sunday it was reported the Patriots will honor Tom Brady twice -- once before the game and again when he breaks Drew Brees' NFL passing record.
Appearing on ESPN's NFL Countdown, which was live outside Gillette Stadium, Patriots owner Robert Kraft gave more details on what will take place.
“I want everyone in this building to know, right before the Buccaneers come out, you look at the big board and for one minute we’re going to run something that I think is very respectful and worthy,” he said. “And if he winds up breaking the record, although I guess in some ways I hope he doesn’t, but realistically he will. The game will stop and we will honor that moment out of respect to him as a great athlete.”
Kraft said his emotions won't be conflicted during the game.
“I don’t think they’re going to be conflicted,” he said. “We all have love and respect, but we all want to win.”
Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m.
