Tom Brady is the most successful quarterback to ever take the field in the NFL. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is widely thought of as the best quarterback of fall time, as hard as Patrick Mahomes may be on his heels.
Since retiring, Brady has transitioned to the broadcast booth, where he calls games for FOX. Unfortunately, it’s fair to say that Brady hasn’t exactly seen the sort of success he was hoping for when he took the job.
Fans have complained all season that Brady’s job hasn’t been up to par, and a brutal mistake on Sunday has added to their list of grievances with the legend.
In a clip that’s making the rounds on social media, while calling the game between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, Brady forgot the fourth team the Packers had lost to. It was the Vikings.

Fans reacted to the blunder on social media.
“Greg Olsen deserves Tom Brady’s money,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Please make Greg Olsen the #1 guy again,” added someone else.
“As a dolphins fan and someone who grew up with him owning my existence in the NFL it gives me just a bit of solace to know he is not perfect or good at everything lol,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Brady does lose his job as part of FOX’s A-team.
