Tom Brady put his hand up and admitted he is to blame for what was an awkward moment on the Fox broadcast of the Eagles-Rams game on Sunday.
During the broadcast, there was a moment when Brady went completely quiet, appearing confused about the lack of communication in his headset.
Later on, his broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt asked Brady, “You want to fess up the mic issue?”
The seven-time Super Bowl champ then admitted he dropped his big folder, which contains notes and research of “everything” he wants to say, on the talkback button he uses to communicate with his producers during the game.
Thus, he couldn’t hear anyone and no one could hear him.
“It’s my fault the whole time,” Brady said.
“That’s like a quarterback owning up to his mistakes,” he added.
“I like it,” Burkhardt replied as the story drew laughs in the booth and among fans watching at home.
“Tom that’s why you won 7 super bowls accountability,” an X user commented on the video.
“Tom Brady is the best broadcaster since joining Fox sports,” another added.
A third posted: “Tom Brady keeps it real in the booth, he really is the best in the game.”
Brady has been very candid throughout his early career in the booth as an analyst for Fox.
Throughout this season, he has had many comments go viral including when he ripped Justin Herbert for throwing “a meatball sub” and when he said “Oh s–t” while reacting to a replay of Jayden Daniels’ elbow injury during Week 2.
Brady owned up to the latter for his lack of filter.
“I fully expect you to beep out those ‘piss missiles,’ OK?” Brady said on Thursday’s installment of his “#AskTom” segment for NFL on Fox. “You can’t say that, because that swear jar is getting way too full in my house. My kids are getting way too happy with me filling up that jar.
“… I’m actually kind of embarrassed. There’s a lot of grandmas at home that probably aren’t very happy with my mouth on Fox. I’m gonna fix that. Sorry. I apologize.”
Brady and Burkhardt will be calling the 49ers-Cardinals game in Week 5.
