The 47-year-old Tom Brady was alongside play-by-play Kevin Burkhardt for the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns late afternoon matchup.

The Cowboys claimed the 33-17 win over the Browns.

Before the contest, Fox NFL Sunday caught up with Brady to discuss his broadcasting debut.

Strahan shared his approval of the network adding the New England Patriots icon to the mix.

“We made the right decision because we have you calling this game man,” the NFL Hall of Famer said at the Fox NFL Sunday studios in Los Angeles.

“You’re with us here at Fox. No one handles pressure better than you.

“No one prepares more than you.

“But now, you’re talking about football .

Strahan then asked Brady how he was feeling about his broadcasting debut.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion revealed that he’s relieved he won’t have to do practice broadcast runs anymore.

“Dude I’m done with all of the rehearsals thank god,” Bradys said.

“I’m so happy to be here in Cleveland. It’s 65 (degrees). It’s sunny.”

Brady also sent his praise to his Fox colleagues for being great teammates.

The NFL icon’s long-awaited broadcast debut came after he signed a massive $375 million deal with Fox in 2022.

Brady received mixed reviews for his performance.

He showed off his NFL expertise that he displayed throughout his 23 years in the league.

During a live TV sequence, Brady was “left hanging” as NFL rules analyst Mike Peirera accidentally snubbed his fist bump.

He will be back on the call this Sunday as the Cowboys face the New Orleans Saints .

It’s not clear which game he will be working in Week 3.
