Fox reports that Tom Brady will make his broadcasting debut on Cowboys vs. Browns in Week 1.
An NFL game, especially a good matchup, seldom gets overshadowed by the broadcaster’s personal preferences.
One of the biggest games in the NFL schedule has been leaked ahead of schedule; the rest will be revealed on Wednesday. On September 8 at 4:25 p.m. ET, Fox announced that the Dallas Cowboys vs. Cleveland Browns will be the first week’s late Sunday game.
Even more noteworthy than the game itself is that Tom Brady will be making his Fox debut. The all-time great quarterback has agreed to a massive 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox, where he will serve as the primary color analyst.
Brady has a successful debut game to televise. The Cowboys, who recently won the NFC East, are always quite popular. The Browns should be a strong contender in the AFC North after making the playoffs the previous year. This game is really interesting and will be in the much sought-after late afternoon timeframe. The US Open tennis competition will be televised on CBS instead of an NFL game to rival the Cowboys-Browns match, as noted by Andrew Marchand of The Athletic.
