Tom Brady is returning to Raymond James Stadium, and this time he'll have a completely different vantage point on a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
Brady, who led Tampa Bay to victory in Super Bowl LV, is now a color commentator for NFL games on Fox, and he has been scheduled to call the game between the Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 29. Both the Buccaneers and Eagles are 2-1, and they have played a string of high-profile games against each other in recent seasons.
In his first year as a commentator, Brady shares the booth with play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt on Fox's number-one announcing crew. So far, he has gotten a heavy dose of the Dallas Cowboys, calling their games against Cleveland in Week One, New Orleans in Week Two and Baltimore in Week Three.
After two decades with the New England Patriots, Brady played three seasons for the Buccaneers (2022-23) guiding them to the Super Bowl championship in the first one and consequent NFC South titles in the next two. He briefly retired early in the 2022 offseason but later changed his mind. A year later, he made his retirement stick.
In his three seasons with the Buccaneers, Brady started 50 regular season games, compiling a 32-18 record while completing 1,376 of 2,062 passes (66.7%) for 14,643 yards, 108 touchdowns and 33 interceptions. In 2021, he led the NFL in attempts (719), completions (485), passing yards (5,316) and touchdown passes (43), in the process setting Buccaneer single-season records in all those categories. In 2022, he threw 733 passes, breaking his own Tampa Bay record and setting a new one for the NFL.
In the postseason, Brady won five of his seven starts with Tampa Bay. He completed 175 of 295 passes for 2,012 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. After directing three straight road wins in the 2020 playoffs, he helped the Buccaneers become the first team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl in its own stadium by throwing three touchdown passes and no interceptions against the Kansas City Chiefs.
