FOX Sports analyst Tom Brady is facing immense criticism over his comment about Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt, FOX’s top NFL commentary team, were on the call for the showdown between the two division leaders. Brady, who faced Allen four times during his playing days, made a bizarre comment about the Buffalo QB during the first quarter.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion praised Allen’s leadership and communication during one of Buffalo’s possessions. After stating that Allen “has really lit the league on fire since” his arrival”, Brady proceeded to say that the QB used to play “like a spaz, like a grade-schooler on a sugar high.”

Josh Allen had a field day in his first trip to Seattle, throwing for 283 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-10 blowout victory. With the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins both losing, the Bills essentially have the AFC East locked up.
Brady signed a 10-year deal with FOX Sports worth $375 million in 2022 before beginning his final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After one year away from football, he began his broadcasting career in the fall before purchasing a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
Tom Brady Is Improving As An Analyst
Over his first two months in the broadcast booth, Brady has received mixed reviews. He was widely panned over the first two games, with fans noting his obvious nerves and lack of energy.
However, the three-time league MVP has certainly displayed better rhythm and improved his in-depth analysis. It would always take a bit of time for Brady to hone his craft, but he appears to be settled in and fairly comfortable with his new gig.
Brady, Burkhardt and Erin Andrews will be on the call for Super Bowl 59 inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. By then, Brady will have had ample broadcasting experience under his belt.
