STWF Sports | Nov. 24, 2025 – Tom Brady’s transition to the broadcast booth has been mostly smooth — but every so often, the seven-time Super Bowl champion finds himself at the center of an unintentional viral moment. Sunday afternoon in Arlington delivered the latest twist, as Brady made an awkward on-air slip during Fox’s coverage of a dramatic Dallas Cowboys–Philadelphia Eagles showdown.

The Cowboys erased a 21–0 deficit and completed one of the most improbable comebacks of the 2025 season, beating the defending Super Bowl champions 24–21 at AT&T Stadium. But even as Dak Prescott mounted three unanswered touchdown drives to tie the game, it was a moment in the fourth quarter — and Brady’s reaction to it — that set social media ablaze.

Brady’s Broadcast Blunder Goes Viral

With the teams knotted at 21–21 late in the fourth, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts faced a critical 3rd-and-long. Dallas defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa burst through Philadelphia’s protection and delivered a game-changing sack.

As Fox rolled the replay, Brady broke down the play — until an unexpected verbal fumble took over the broadcast.

“Odighizuwa just blasted through Nicker—” Brady said, abruptly halting midsentence before quickly correcting himself: “Excuse me, Landon Dickerson right there.”

Within seconds, the clip ricocheted across social media.

“What did Tom Brady just say?????” one stunned fan posted.
“The ‘excuse me’ was crazy lol,” another wrote.
“I KNOW I didn’t just hear that,” a third added.

While the moment was undeniably awkward, many fans immediately came to Brady’s defense, noting it was a simple tongue-slip amplified by the spotlight of a nationally televised rivalry game.

“He just got tongue tied. Y’all blow everything out of proportion,” one viewer argued.
“He started to say ‘Nickerson’ and caught himself,” another clarified.
“Why are y’all making this into something it isn’t?” a third commented.

Still, the gaffe adds to a growing collection of small but highly publicized missteps since Brady began his record $375 million broadcasting deal — a reminder that even football’s greatest quarterback can be mortal with a microphone.

Cowboys Rally From 21–0 to Honor a Fallen Teammate

While Brady’s slip dominated social chatter, the game itself delivered a storyline far more meaningful.

After Odighizuwa’s sack forced the Eagles to punt with 1:35 remaining, Prescott engineered a calm, clinical drive to set up the game-winning field goal. The 24–21 victory lifted Dallas to 5–5–1 and sent AT&T Stadium into chaos.

In the locker room afterward, Prescott dedicated the win to late teammate Marshawn Kneeland, who died on November 6. It was the Cowboys’ first home game since his passing.

“Nobody blinked, everybody believed and we got it done,” Prescott said. “One love — that was for Marshawn right there. I know he helped us get that one.”

The quarterback also credited his defense — which forced two critical stops late — for enabling the comeback.

“Defense played a hell of a game,” Prescott said. “Time and time again they gave us opportunities. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Brady’s Next Assignment — and Cowboys’ Next Test

The Cowboys now prepare for a Thanksgiving heavyweight clash with the Kansas City Chiefs — a game that could reshape the NFC playoff picture.

Brady, meanwhile, will be back on air sooner than later, calling the Detroit Lions–Green Bay Packers matchup earlier in the day. With the spotlight fixed squarely on him — and with another viral broadcast moment now added to the reel — every word will be watched more closely than ever.

Even so, Sunday’s slip did little to overshadow a thrilling finish in Dallas. The Cowboys delivered a comeback for the ages. Brady just delivered another meme.
