Tom Brady is returning to Raymond James Stadium, and this time he’ll have a completely different perspective on a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game.
Brady, who led Tampa Bay to victory in Super Bowl LV, is now an NFL commentator on Fox, and he has been scheduled to call the play-by-play between the Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, September 29. The Buccaneers and Eagles are both 2-1, and have played a series of high-profile games against each other in recent seasons.
In his first year as a commentator, Brady shares the booth with commentator Kevin Burkhardt as part of Fox’s No. 1 commentary team. So far, he’s gotten a good dose of Dallas Cowboys commentary, calling their games against Cleveland in Week 1, New Orleans in Week 2 and Baltimore in Week 3.
After two decades with the New England Patriots, Brady played three seasons for the Buccaneers (2022-23), guiding them to a Super Bowl championship in the first and back-to-back NFC South titles in the next two. He briefly retired early in the 2022 offseason, but then changed his mind. A year later, he made sure his retirement stood.
In his three seasons with the Buccaneers, Brady started 50 regular-season games, going 32-18 while completing 1,376 of 2,062 passes (66.7 percent) 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), setting Buccaneers single-season records in all of those categories. In 2022, he threw 733 passes, breaking his own Tampa Bay record and setting a new NFL record.
In the playoffs, Brady won five of his seven starts for Tampa Bay. He completed 175 of 295 passes for 2,012 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. After winning three straight on the road in the 2020 playoffs, he helped the Buccaneers become the first team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium by throwing three touchdown passes and no interceptions against the Kansas City Chiefs.
