Former MLB player Danny Valencia tweeted about the historic matchup on Monday, joking that every one of Brady’s games should be broadcast on the History Channel.

Both players will have a combined age of 85 when they play Sunday (Brees turns 42 on Friday), making them the oldest two quarterbacks playing against each other in league history, according to NBC Sports.
The record was previously set in 2018 by Brady and then Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who was 37 at the time.
Sunday’s game isn’t unfamiliar territory for the two quarterbacks, who met many times over the years, but it could be their last with rumors that Brees may retire after this season.

"The minute that he signed with the Bucs and came to the division, you felt like that was going to be a team to contend with, that was going to be a team that would have playoff aspirations and beyond, just like us," Brees said of meeting Brady in the playoffs for the first time.
"So, I guess it was inevitable."
