Brady will join Kevin Burkhardt for the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants NFC East matchup on Fox at 4:30 p.m. Thursday night.
Brady said earlier on Wednesday that he was “fired” to call the game. Even though they are two of the worst teams in the NFL division.
Mike McCarthy’s Cowboys finally lost their skid last week in a tight end against the Washington Commanders, with kicker Austin Seibert missing the extra point to send the game to overtime after Washington’s Terry McLaurin scored a touchdown. A miracle from Jayden Daniels seconds into play.
Meanwhile The Giants have lost six straight games. Including the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. In Tommy’s first start DeVito after Daniel Jones’ release

Jones, who has officially signed with the Minnesota Vikings, will likely be their backup ahead of the playoffs. Released after going 2-8 this season, the Giants are looking to the future with six games remaining on the schedule.
DeVito is a short-term player who is fun to play on short weeks. Due to his injured forearm, Drew Lock, the Giants paid $5 million this offseason to be Jones’ backup. Who will be next if DeVito can’t play?
Even though he may not be playing anymore. But Brady knows his career choice means being away from his family during the holidays.
