Which game will Tom Brady call this week? Exploring FOX's updated schedule after Week 17 flex changes
Tom Brady will be in the broadcasting booth in Week 17 of the 2024 NFL regular season. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is the lead analyst at FOX Sports, and he'll be tasked with sharing his knowledge in Week 17.
Let's examine Brady's broadcasting schedule ahead of the penultimate week of regular season action.
Which game is Tom Brady calling in Week 17?
Tom Brady will call the Minnesota Vikings versus Green Bay Packers matchup in Week 17. The future Hall of Famer will be in the booth for an NFC North showdown between two of the best teams in the conference.
Tom Brady will be joined by Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play commentator), Tom Rinaldi and Erin Andrews (both sideline reporters). The quartet will represent FOX in this high-profile matchup in the most stacked division in football.
How are the Vikings and Packers performing this season?
The Minnesota Vikings and (13-2) Green Bay Packers (11-4) are heading to the playoffs. However, their Week 17 matchup is significant regarding seeding and home-field advantage in the postseason.
Sam Darnold & Co. is on an eight-game winning streak. They'll aim for their second win against the Packers this season, as they were victorious when the two met in Week 4.
The Vikings will rely on the connection between Darnold and Justin Jefferson. The duo have combined devastating effects over time, and Vikings fans will expect more of the same in Week 17.
The Packers have been thoroughly impressive this season and are on track for the second postseason berth of the Jordan Love era. The Packers are on a two-game winning streak and will fancy their chances in Minnesota.
However, their defense must find a way to contain the trifecta of Darnold, Jefferson and Aaron Jones. Jordan Love & Co. will aim for sweet revenge after the Vikings handed them a loss in Week 4. It was a close loss, and the Packers must showcase better defensive chops to avoid a repeat.
