The happenings on Sunday night were surely not on anyone’s 2025 bingo cards. The Buffalo Bills managed to lose a game they controlled for most of the night. And Tom Brady, who was calling the game, managed to steal the spotlight bizarrely.

Well, the Patriots legend seems to know how to become the center of conversations even now. Early on in the Bills vs Philadelphia Eagles game, Brady provided a line that football fans are going to think and talk about for a long time to come.
While describing Buffalo’s short-yardage decisions, he suggested keeping things simple, inadvertently addressing Josh Allen by his “booty”. The GOAT did so in good humor, no doubt.
“Give him the shove,” Brady said. “Let your big 250-pound, big booty quarterback sneak his way in there.”
Surely, no one thought they were ever going to hear the GOAT refer to Allen as a “big booty quarterback”. Later, cameras caught Brady wearing a single glove while calling the game, which one account on Twitter called Brady’s “Beautiful tribute to The Juice.” Once again, no one could have seen that particular reference coming up.

Of course, the humor faded once the game reached its brutal conclusion. Somehow, the Bills let the Eagles edge them.
After Allen powered in a touchdown with five seconds remaining, Buffalo went for a two-point conversion to win. Allen missed a wide-open receiver, an uncharacteristic mistake that sealed the loss and left the Bills stunned.
Brady didn’t shy away from the moment, breaking down the miss with the precision that defined his playing career. “Oh, he had him. And Josh knows it,” he said.
“He [Allen] came off the fake, [Khalil] Shakir started in, then back out. He had him open by three or four yards and just tugged it left. He’s got to put it on his body. When you’re drifting left, the tendency is to pull it left. He knows it,” described Brady.
The loss had major ripple effects. Buffalo’s defeat let the New England Patriots clinch the AFC East. It ended the Bills’ five-year run atop the division.
Of course, the Bills have already secured a wild-card spot and will head into the postseason after a Week 18 matchup against the 3-13 New York Jets. For them, the focus will be on recovery and redemption. And for Brady, maybe figuring out other ways to be funny and engaging in the booth will be on the must-do list.
