Tom Brady suffers embarrassing moment live on Fox as NFL legend’s mind goes completely blank
There are no replays on live television, which Tom Brady discovered Sunday afternoon when his mind went completely blank trying to present a key figure to build the Vikings-Packers game.
Heading into the NFC North clash, Green Bay had just four losses, as Brady noted.
There were a few losses coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions. The Packers also lost their season opener in Brazil to the Eagles. And the fourth loss was… right when Brady’s thoughts went black.
If Brady had watched the crowd at US Bank Stadium from his television booth, he might have been able to figure out the answer.
In Week 4, Minnesota defeated Green Bay at Lambeau Field before Sunday’s rematch, which produced the same result.
The Packers are now 11-5 and locked into either the No. 6 or No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, meaning a road game coming up in the Wild Card round, and if they make it that far, the Divisional round.

Brady is in his first season as Fox’s top football color commentator after signing a lucrative deal
Brady is in his first season as Fox’s top football color commentator and signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million contract in 2022 that only took effect this season.
Along with Kevin Burkhardt, Brady typically gets one of the biggest NFL matchups each week.
It was no exception on Sunday, as Brady called the only weekend matchup with two teams with double-digit wins.
Based on which game is moved to the Sunday night slot by the NFL, Brady could see an all-NFC North matchup for a second straight week, with the Vikings and Lions set to face off in the final week of the regular season.
Brady has shown a lot of improvement in the broadcast booth this season. Perhaps Sunday can be seen as two steps forward and one step back.
