Tom Brady Will Call Steelers-Eagles Game in Week 15
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady will call the Steelers-Eagles game for FOX in Week 15, according to Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan. It will be Brady’s first time in the booth for a Steelers game. He’ll be on the call with Kevin Burkhardt at Lincoln Financial Field.
Tom Brady absolutely dominated the Steelers in his legendary 23-year career, posting a 12-4 record (including postseason). On top of a 35-5 touchdown/interception ratio, Brady was 3-0 in AFC Championship Games against the Steelers (2001, 2004 and 2016).
This is Brady’s first year in the booth, and the results have been not all that great. Many believe Brady is not a fit for broadcasting.

The Steelers (9-3) and Eagles (10-2) are both considered to be Super Bowl contenders in their respective conferences. It sets up an intriguing game in South Philly.
The Eagles had an impressive 24-19 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens were held to 19 points or fewer for the second time this year. The Steelers were the first team to hold Baltimore’s offense under 20 points, which occurred in Pittsburgh’s 18-16 win in Week 11.
The Eagles, who are loaded on both sides of the ball, are led by MVP candidate Saquon Barkley. Barkely has been on a tear this season, rushing for 1,499 yards on 246 carries (6.1 average) and 11 touchdowns. He also has 29 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns.
The Steelers will try to do something in Week 15 hat they haven’t accomplished since the mid-1960s — beat the Eagles in Philadelphia.
You have to go all the way back to Oct. 24, 1965, to the last time the Steelers beat the Eagles in the City of Brotherly Love. It was a 20-14 win for Pittsburgh at Franklin Field. With the Eagles being in the NFC, the Steelers have only played in Philadelphia nine times since 1965, but the losses are usually brutal. Out of all the road destinations in the NFL, Philly has been the most troublesome for the Steelers. It just seems like unusual things happen whenever the Steelers travel to the eastern part of the Commonwealth.
