Tom Brady may have just been honored with a statue this week by his former team, the New England Patriots, but his ties to the New York Giants are still fairly strong.
Brady, who is FOX Sports’ top NFL game analyst alongside play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt, will be in the booth for the Giants’ Week 1 game against Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders down in Landover.
FOX decided to send their No. 1 team to Washington, perhaps to get an early look at the transformed Giants and the rising Commanders, who were one game from the Super Bowl last year.

From Pro Football Talk:
Brady will be in the broadcast booth at Northwest Stadium with Kevin Burkhardt for Fox Sports’ broadcast of the Giants and the Commanders. Sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will also be at the matchup between NFC East clubs.
The same crew will also call Fox’s marquee matchup in Week 2. They will be in Kansas City for a Super Bowl rematch between the Eagles and the Chiefs.
Brady has famously sparred with fans of the Giants and Jets over the years. He has a different relationship with both. He is still stinging from his two Super Bowl losses at the hands of Big Blue, but he dominated the Jets, beating them in 30 of the 37 games he played against them.
