As Tom Brady prepares to be on the call for Sunday’s marquee showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, the legendary quarterback is receiving high marks from his employer for his work through six weeks of the 2024 NFL season.

Per The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch, Fox Sports is “pleased with” Brady’s work alongside play-by-play caller Kevin Burkhardt as the No. 1 broadcast crew for the network’s NFL coverage.

There was a lot of attention paid when the season started to how Brady would fare as a television analyst. He was given a 10-year, $375 million contract from the network in May 2022 when he was still an active player that would go into effect after he retired.

Despite retiring after the 2022 season, Brady elected to delay the start of broadcasting career by a year in part to give him additional time to learn the intricacies of working in television.

Brady’s debut in Week 1 for the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns matchup drew mixed reviews, with most of the feedback being that he seemed unsure of what to say or resorted to cliches in his analysis.

Things did get better for Brady the following week when he was on the call for the Cowboys’ home opener against the New Orleans Saints.

Fox did make things easier for Brady by having his first three games involve the Cowboys. Sunday will mark the second time he has worked a 49ers game, following a Week 5 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

It will be interesting to see how much, if anything, changes for Brady’s approach to calling games after he was approved as a limited partner with the Raiders organization this week.

Being part of the ownership group for an NFL franchise means Brady has limited access to information from opposing clubs and can’t publicly criticize officials.

Deitsch did note Brady has been working under those guidelines all season because the deal with the Raiders has been in the works for some time, but now some producers wonder if he ends up saying something critical of another team or officials, or intentionally avoids saying something that would be obvious analysis.

The truth of the matter is the vast majority of people will only care about the announcer if they are actively distracting from the game. Brady hasn’t done that yet, nor has there been any indication that’s going to happen.

Fox will broadcast the Super Bowl rematch between the Chiefs and 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
