NFL fans had the same complaint about Tom Brady during the highly-anticipated Kansas City Chiefs-San Francisco 49ers Week 7 clash at Levi’s Stadium.
FOX assigned Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt to a game many regarded as the best matchup of the 2024 regular season. The Chiefs and 49ers met in Super Bowl 58 just eight months ago, with Kansas City winning in overtime.
Brady’s work as an NFL analyst has received mixed reviews over the past six weeks. Today, there was no shortage of fed-up fans taking to X/Twitter to air their disappointment with his performance.
Specifically, they were complaining about Tom Brady’s constant praise of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout the contest:
The 47-year-old Brady is in the first season of a 10-year, $375 million deal he signed with FOX in 2022. The network was so high on Brady as an analyst that they had him replace the beloved Greg Olsen as the analyst on their No. 1 commentary team with Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
Tom Brady & Patrick Mahomes Split Their Six Meetings
Fans were treated to six chapters of Brady vs. Mahomes, including the epic 2018 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl 55. Brady won those two matchups as well as the first meeting in 2018, but Mahomes also emerged victorious thrice with regular season victories in 2019, 2020 and 2022.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
