Tom Brady uses profanity during Fox NFL broadcast

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady used profanity during a live segment of Fox NFL Sunday on November 1, 2026. While participating in a trivia competition against fellow former quarterback Drew Brees, Brady mistakenly identified Brees as the player with the third-most 300-yard passing games in league history. Upon realizing the error, Brady blurted out an expletive before attempting to recover.

This incident marks the second time during the 2026 NFL season that Brady has used similar language on air. In September, he drew attention for his commentary during a Week 2 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. Brady later apologized for the slip-ups, noting his embarrassment regarding the potential reaction from viewers.
