Tom Brady gets Cowboys fans fired up before Saints clash
Tom Brady did not have much of a connection to the Dallas Cowboys during most of his NFL career, but his latest football experiences continue to be intertwined with them.
Dak Prescott and company trounced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card Round in 2023, in what was Brady’s final professional game (for now at least). The seven-time Super Bowl champion then made his broadcasting debut on Fox by calling last Sunday’s game between the Cowboys and Cleveland Browns. He will also be in the booth for Dallas’ home opener versus the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 and will surely work other games featuring America’s Team in 2024-25.
All of this is to say, Brady has had quite the vivid view of the modern-day Cowboys. Though, unlike many pundits and analysts, he seems to have a great deal of faith in the Jerry Jones-owned franchise.
“I think it’s a promising time for Cowboys fans because they’ve had a great team the last three seasons, and I think what I saw from last week’s game, they’re going to be really tough to beat this year,” he said in front of a Dallas crowd, per D210Sports’ Brittany Bowen.
“They play really well at home,” a gushing Tom Brady continued. “Coach {Mike} McCarthy has done a great job with this team. I think bringing Mike Zimmer in as defensive coordinator is going to make a big difference, {will} allow Micah Parsons to make a big impact on every single game. They just have a lot of great, talented players, great coaches… I expect great things from the Cowboys. I don’t see any drop-off from this year to last year.”
