The game, which will take place on September 21, at 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time, will feature Brady in the booth with Fox’s lead NFL play-by-play announcer, Burkhardt.
Ahead of the Week 3 game, Brady shared that the Bears were one of his choices to go to after New England, and he got far along in the process.
“They were pretty involved,” Brady said. “A lot of things happened in free agency, and different kind of teams come out of the woodwork. And I really wasn’t expecting Chicago to be one of them, but they were pretty much all-in.”
However, he would end up choosing Florida over Illinois. Reflecting on it, Brady said that the warmer climate helped his body acclimate to playing football in Tampa.

“Chicago Bears, I gave it a lot of consideration,” Brady said.
