Normally, it would not be weird to see Tom Brady present for the playoff game between the Eagles and the Packers in the wild-card round. The GOAT quarterback won seven Super Bowls and made his name with his postseason performances.
However, he was not on the field today. He is now a FOX analyst and he was calling his first NFC playoff game. He has had his struggles this year with some major flubs. One would have hoped that he would turn on his postseason form in the booth as well but it did not pan out that way. Tom Brady called the Eagles the Phillies instead of the Eagles at one point.

Even though he corrected himself immediately, it spawned a lot of comments on social media. Fans were not happy with the way he was approaching the assignment in the booth and they took to X/Twitter to make their point.
