Tom Brady may be known for his precision on the football field, but even legends have their off moments.

On Sunday, during a live broadcast, the NFL icon experienced a mental hiccup while trying to recount the Green Bay Packers’ four losses this season.

As he built up the excitement for the NFC North clash between the Packers and the Minnesota Vikings, his memory went blank at a crucial moment.

The Packers’ Losses and Brady’s Pause

Brady started strong, correctly noting that the Packers had suffered two losses against the Detroit Lions and another in Brazil against the Philadelphia Eagles during their season opener.

But when it came to recalling their fourth defeat, the usually sharp Brady hit a mental roadblock.

Interestingly, the answer was right in front of him.

If he had looked at the enthusiastic US Bank Stadium crowd, he might have remembered that the Packers’ fourth loss occurred in Week 4, when Minnesota handed them a defeat at Lambeau Field.

Coincidentally, Sunday’s rematch ended with the same result—a Vikings victory.

Packers’ Playoff Path

With their latest loss, the Packers now hold an 11-5 record and are firmly positioned for a road game in the NFC playoffs, potentially in the Wild Card or Divisional round.

Despite Sunday’s setback, Green Bay remains a strong contender with their playoff seeding yet to be finalized.

Brady’s New Role as a Broadcaster

This season marks Tom Brady’s debut as Fox’s lead football color commentator, following his massive 10-year, $375 million contract signed in 2022.

Partnered with Kevin Burkhardt, Brady typically covers some of the NFL’s biggest matchups, and Sunday was no exception.

The Packers-Vikings game featured two teams with double-digit wins, making it the marquee event of the weekend.

Looking ahead, Brady may find himself calling another NFC North showdown if the Vikings face the Lions in the final week of the regular season—a matchup that could be flexed into the Sunday night slot.

A Learning Curve for the NFL Legend

While Sunday’s momentary lapse may have been a rare stumble, it highlights the challenges of transitioning from the field to the broadcast booth.

Brady has shown significant improvement in his commentary skills throughout the season, offering sharp insights and engaging analysis.

This moment might simply be a case of “two steps forward, one step back.”

Even with a brief slip, Brady continues to solidify his place in the world of sports broadcasting.

are eager to see how he evolves in this new role, bringing his passion and expertise to the NFL’s biggest stages.
