Tom Brady says Lions are 'absolutely' the best team he's seen this year

Tom Brady got his first in-person look at the Detroit Lions in Week 6. The legendary NFL quarterback was part of the FOX broadcast crew along with Kevin Burkhardt, and the game in Dallas was Brady’s first time on the mic for a Lions game.

Brady witnessed one of the greatest games in Lions history. Detroit rolled to a 47-9 win over a Cowboys team that was missing some key players on defense but didn’t put up much of a fight. Detroit thoroughly outmatched Dallas in every phase of the game except kick returns, outgaining the Cowboys 492-251 and forcing five takeaways in the massive road win.

After the game, FOX analyst and Pro Football Hall of Famer Howie Long asked Brady if the Lions were the best team he’s seen so far this year.

Brady did not hesitate in responding, “absolutely.”

Then Brady continued to praise the Lions,

“I think their ability to play on offense with so many styles; they’ve got this two-headed monster at (running) back, creative playcalling. Everyone got involved–they got (Kalif) Raymond involved … they just have weapons, but it all starts with that offensive line. The way they dominate the line of scrimmage, you can’t get any pass rush on them. Goff back there, surveying the field, just seems like they’ve got everything rolling.”

Brady turned his attention to the defense.

“They’re up there challenging people. They’re playing aggressive man coverage, challenging every single play. It’s frustrating when you’re a quarterback and there’s no easy throws out there. They’re going to be tough to stop,” Brady concluded, noting the humility and team-centric attitude under head coach Dan Campbell.
