Tom Brady has been praised for his performance in the booth during the Washington Commanders’ win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.
The former star quarterback has had a difficult transition from football to broadcasting but appears to be growing more comfortable in the role now that the playoffs have started.
Brady had one of his best moments as a commentator during Saturday’s Divisional Round clash as he caught something no one else seemed to realize.
The Commanders were at Detroit’s five-yard line on a fourth-and-two while leading 31-28 and were about to go for it. Brady observed that the Lions had an extra man on the field and begged them to call a timeout.
“Need a time-out,” he was heard saying. “Twelve on the field, time-out. Time-out. Nope. Nope. Oh, no. What are they doing?”
