Tom Brady Praised by Eagles Fans for Jalen Hurts Analysis in Win vs. Steelers

Philadelphia Eagles fans praised Tom Brady on Sunday as he covered Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' dominant 27-13 victory over Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers for Fox.

Hurts finished the day completing 25-of-32 passes for 290 yards with two touchdowns (one to A.J. Brown and one to DeVonta Smith) and one fumble in the victory over Wilson, who threw one touchdown as Pittsburgh's offense struggled to stay on the field for much of the second half.

Despite a flub here and there, fans enjoyed Brady's commentary on Sunday, especially Eagles backers who loved hearing his analysis of Hurts given the drama that he was entangled in all week leading up to the intrastate showdown.

Before the game, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham approached Brady on the field and jokingly acted like he was going to strip-sack him. It was a nod to the infamous moment in Super Bowl LII that helped seal the Eagles' 41-33 victory over Brady and the New England Patriots.

During the interaction between the two, Brady told Graham that the game-sealing play "couldn't have happened to a better guy."

The 47-year-old has made significant progress since Week 1 of the season, and fans have grown to appreciate his 23 years of on-field experience as it has translated into the booth.

He showcased his deep wealth of knowledge on Sunday when he circled Pittsburgh tight end Pat Freiermuth just before the play where he scored a touchdown late in the second quarter.

Fox has not yet released its broadcast schedule for Week 16.
