Drew Brees Debuts as Fox Sports Analyst in Packers Win

Drew Brees made his debut as a color analyst for Fox Sports on Sunday, calling the Green Bay Packers' 31-13 victory over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback, who retired from playing in 2020, joined play-by-play announcer Adam Amin in the network's broadcast booth for the Week 11 matchup.

Before the game, Brees received advice from fellow retired quarterback Tom Brady during Fox NFL Sunday's pregame show. Both appeared virtually, with Brady in his second season as a Fox analyst after calling the Chicago Bears-Minnesota Vikings game that afternoon. When asked by host Curt Menefee for tips, Brady reflected on his own early broadcasting experiences. "I'm glad I'm not a rookie anymore, but I'd warn him of all the mistakes I made in my first year," Brady said. "But we'd be here for an hour. So, I'm not going to tell you any of those things. He knows what to do. Have fun, just enjoy yourself, and don't read all those social media comments after." Brady, who has faced mixed reviews and criticism online since joining Fox last season, emphasized avoiding the negativity that often follows broadcasts.
