Kicking off NFL Week 5 matches on FOX Sports

Fox NFL Kickoff host Charissa Thompson joined 'Fox & Friends Weekend' to preview the next round of NFL games 

The New England Patriots broke out the red jerseys and the old-school logo for their Week 5 matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

The Patriots wore the red jerseys with a blue and white stripe on the shoulders from 1984-1992 as their main uniform. The "Patriot Pat" logo was on white helmets and the logo will be at midfield at Gillette Stadium when both teams take the field.

The Patriots wore the uniform as an alternate option from 1994-2012.

The team last wore the throwback jerseys nearly a decade ago on Oct. 21, 2012, at Gillette Stadium against the New York Jets, according to the team’s website. The team will wear the jerseys again when they play host to the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Dec. 1.

Bailey Zappe will be the starting quarterback this time around as Tom Brady bolted for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to the start of the 2020 season.

Zappe, a rookie from Western Kentucky, did enough to maintain the starting job after last week’s 27-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer are both hurt.
