The seven-time Super Bowl winner and former New England Patriots player Tom Brady is all set to commentate in the upcoming NFC Championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders as the former has landed in Philadelphia. Brady will be alongside Kevin Burkhardt, who will be the play-by-play announcer for the FOX broadcast.
What did Tom Brady post on his Instagram before the Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders NFC Championship game?
As soon as Tom Brady landed in Philadelphia, he wasted no time and took to his Instagram to share a story of how cold it was in the city. He shared a picture of the city with two emojis to go with it.
Not long ago, Brady was in Ford Field to watch the Lions clash against the Commanders. The only major difference between that game and the upcoming NFC Championship game on Sunday is that Ford Field is a domed stadium which doesn't allow the snow to affect the game. Commanders easily got past the Lions to feature in the upcoming NFC Championship game as a rookie quarterback won over Brady with his stellar performance.
In the match between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams, the snow arrived in the first quarter and never left. In the end, the Eagles got past the Rams easily as Saquon Barkley played an important role as he ran over 200 rushing yards and had two touchdowns to his name.
Both the teams met twice in the regular season and Sunday's mega-clash will be another high-flying affair.
Tom Brady's Las Vegas Raiders have found a new head coach
Before leaving for the highly-anticipated NFC Championship game, Tom Brady helped the cause of the Las Vegas Raiders, a team he's a minority owner of, find a new head coach. According to Adam Schefter, Pete Carroll has now agreed to join the Raiders on a three-year deal.
It is believed that Brady would have his say once he joins the Raiders board, but it is still unclear whether he pushed to get Carroll to Allegiant Stadium. Coaches like Deion Sanders, Steve Spagnuolo, Toddy Monken, Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn were all interviewed during the process.
Pete Carroll coached the Seahawks from 2010 to 2023 before moving on to an advisor role and left the door open for Mike Macdonald to take over. Carroll won the Super Bowl XLVIII.
