One of the NFL’s best offenses today left Tom Brady wanting to lace up his cleats and put on his helmet under their banner.
Brady was on commentator duty for Fox on Sunday during the Detroit Lions-Dallas Cowboys game at AT&T Stadium. It did not take long for the seven-time Super Bowl winner to shock fans with a comment.
Just before halftime, his broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt asked Brady: ‘You played on great offenses, but how much fun would you have had playing on this offense?’
The legendary quarterback then gushed over the Detroit offense, saying: ‘I’d love to be the quarterback of this offense, it’s just so much fun.
‘When I look at this offense, it reminds me of what great offense should be in the NFL,’ he added.
