What game is Tom Brady calling in Week 6? FOX broadcaster's schedule explored

Tom Brady is in his first season as a broadcaster, calling games for FOX. The future Hall of Famer is slowly but surely getting used to calling games from the booth rather than directing offenses on the Gridiron.

Let's examine the game that Tom Brady will be calling in Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season.

What game is Tom Brady calling in Week 6?

According to Bleacher Report, Tom Brady will call the Dallas Cowboys versus Detroit Lions game in Week 6 alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. This will be Brady's fourth time on a Dallas Cowboys broadcast, as he covered their games in each of the first three weeks of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys will look to improve their 3-2 record when they take on the Lions. The Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5 to go above .500 for the year.

The Cowboys needed some Dak Prescott magic with seconds left in the contest to defeat the Mike Tomlin-coached Steelers. With 20 seconds to go, Prescott tossed a touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert. It gave Jerry Jones' side their third win of the season and sets the team up nicely for a crunch NFC matchup in Week 6.

The Detroit Lions won emphatically over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4 before embarking on their bye week. Star quarterback Jared Goff was perfect in the game, completing an NFL record 18 out of 18 passes against the Seahawks.

Goff even added a touchdown reception for the first time in his career as he caught a pass from wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. He returned the favor by making two touchdown passes to his All-Pro wide receiver. Hence, the pair became the eighth duo in NFL history to throw and catch a touchdown from each other.

FanDuel Sportsbook has the Detroit Lions as a favorite to win the game. The prediction is Lions 26-19 Cowboys.

How much does Tom Brady make as a broadcaster?

According to Spotrac, Tom Brady earned $332,962,392 in 23 years as a player for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He earned that impressive sum as arguably the greatest player in NFL history.

Brady is set to earn more than that sum in a shorter time frame as a broadcaster. The seven-time Super Bowl champion signed a 10-year, $375 million contract to join Fox in May 2022. This is the first year of the contract, so we'll see a lot more Brady in the next couple of years.
