NFL legend Tom Brady was on the broadcast call for the New England Patriots' blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye reverted to his turnover-prone ways, throwing three interceptions in the 45-27 loss to the Packers at Gillette Stadium. Brady gave Packers safety Evan Williams his "LFG" Player of the Game award, and during a postgame interview, the seven-time Super Bowl champion made a comment that rose eyebrows in New England.
"Xavier [McKinney] had two picks, you had one on the sideline. There was some deli meat given out by Drake Maye today," Brady told Williams.
Laughing at the comment, Williams responded, "I'm not going to say that, but he was giving us some gifts."

Brady wasn't lying about Maye's bad afternoon, and he was clearly having some fun while doing his job for FOX.
But that comment obviously irked some of the same fans who cheered for Brady during his run as the Patriots' quarterback for nearly two decades.
Here's what some fans posted on social media in response to Brady's comment:
Brady goes too far in the opposite direction with stuff like this to seem impartial. Like it's ok to root for the other team and be a good announcer.

Like before Romo got canned obviously he would be silently rooting for the cowboys.
I hate post pats era Brady 😒

Seven rings and he's still roasting the kid on national TV. Tough love from the GOAT // Drake, take it personal and go eat in Munich.
