There are no replays on live television, which Tom Brady discovered Sunday afternoon when his mind went completely blank while trying to introduce a key figure to set up the Vikings-Packers matchup.
Heading into the NFC North clash, Green Bay only had four losses, as Brady noted.
There were a couple of losses at the hands of the Detroit Lions. Additionally, the Packers lost their season opener in Brazil to the Eagles. And the fourth loss was…exactly when Brady's mind went black.
If Brady had looked from his broadcast booth toward the crowd at US Bank Stadium, he might have discovered the answer.
In Week 4, Minnesota defeated Green Bay at Lambeau Field, before Sunday's rematch yielded the same result.
The Packers are now 11-5 and locked into the No. 6 or 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, meaning a road game looms in the wild-card round and, if they make it that far, in the divisional round.
Tom Brady's mind went completely blank during the Vikings-Packers game on Sunday.
Brady is in his first season as Fox's top football commentator after signing a lucrative deal.
Brady is in his first season as Fox's top football commentator, and signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million contract in 2022, which was just signed into law this season.
Along with Kevin Burkhardt, Brady often has one of the biggest games in the NFL each week.
It was no exception on Sunday, when Brady called the only matchup of the weekend that included two teams with double-digit wins.
Depending on which game the NFL flexes into the Sunday night schedule, Brady could call an all-NFC North matchup for the second straight week with the Vikings and Lions set to meet 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 considered two steps forward and one step back.
