TOM Brady playfully made fun of Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn during the end of the team’s stunning 45-31 win over the Detroit Lions.
The 47-year-old Brady was on the call alongside Kevin Burkhardt on the Fox NFL broadcast.

The Commanders dominated the No. 1 seeded Lions on both sides of the ball in one of the wildest playoff games in recent memory.
Led by rookie star quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington’s offense accumulated 521 total yards against the beat-up Detroit defense.
With a little less than five minutes remaining in the game, the Fox NFL broadcast showed Commanders owner Josh Harris on the sidelines.
Brady was ready to deliver a one-liner after seeing Harris.
“Not sure coach Quinn likes owners coming down on the field before the game is over,” the New England Patriots legend said.
“My bad Dan.”
Brady’s joke referenced his Patriots’ Super Bowl victory over the then-Quinn-led Atlanta Falcons in 2017.
During the big game, the Falcons were infamously up 28-3 and owner Arthur Blank was on the sidelines, ready to celebrate a win that would only be handed to Brady’s squad in New England.
Unlike that game, Quinn’s team would hold their lead and head to the NFC Championship game for the first time in 33 years.
NFL fans were still amazed by Brady’s ‘one-liner’ concerning Quinn.
“Phenomenal stuff,” one wrote.
“Thought tonight was his best broadcast of the year. He’s starting to grow on me,” another commented.
“This might be Brady’s best moment as a commentator He’s been good tonight,” a third added.
The Commanders entered the game as near double-digit underdogs after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.

Daniels completed 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns without taking a sack or throwing an interception.
Washington’s run game was also spectacular, rushing the ball 42 times for 182 yards and three scores.
The team’s defense forced Jared Goff to throw three interceptions, including a pick-six, and lose a fumble.
The Commanders will play the winner of the Los Angeles Rams-Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game next week.
