The Detroit Lions have the most sought-after candidate on the head coaching market in Ben Johnson, but Tom Brady apparently forgot that he existed, because the seven-time Super Bowl winner somehow failed to mention Johnson's name a single time on Saturday night during Fox's broadcast of Detroit's shocking 45-31 playoff loss to the Washington Commanders.

Tom Brady, who joined the Fox NFL broadcasting booth in 2024, is announcing Saturday's playoff game between Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders.

Tom Brady has been praised for his performance in the booth during the Washington Commanders’ win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night. The former star quarterback has had a difficult transition from football to broadcasting but appears to be growing more comfortable in the role now that the playoffs have started.

Tom Brady’s role as Fox’s analyst for the Lions-Commanders game raised questions about a conflict of interest because of Detroit assistants Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn.

Tom Brady appeared on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on Wednesday around the same time that Ben Johnson held his welcome press conference with the Chicago Bears. Brady had reportedly played the part of a " very convincing owner " when the Las Vegas Raiders were trying to land Johnson while Brady was also preparing to call Johnson's final game with the Detroit Lions last Saturday.

The legendary Tom Brady called last weekend's NFC divisional-round playoff game between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders. Before the game, Brady came onto the field to speak with Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
