The use of Kathryn Hahn's character from WandaVision, which has become a popular meme on social media, implies there's some sarcasm behind Brady's use of "America's Team."

The Cowboys have used the nickname since Bob Ryan of NFL Films used it as a title on the team's 1978 highlight reel after they won the NFC championship.

It came at a time when the Cowboys were one of the most dominant franchises in the NFL. They haven't been to a Super Bowl since 1995 and have just three playoff wins since 1998.

Brady led the Bucs to four playoff wins last year alone en route to a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
