Tom Brady’s first playoff broadcast, A.J. Brown’s sideline reading, and more from Eagles-Packers on TV

The Eagles started the postseason with a 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers in the first NFC game of wild-card weekend, which also marked the first playoff game of Tom Brady’s broadcasting career.

Whether you were at a packed Lincoln Financial Field, having a party in the parking lot, or somewhere you couldn’t hear the television, here’s what you missed during Sunday’s broadcast …

It’s normal for players to experience nerves prior to playing in their first postseason game. The same can be said for a former player’s first postseason game in the booth.

Brady, calling the game alongside Kevin Burkhardt, suffered a couple of blunders early in the game, like when he criticized Green Bay for not being able to put enough pressure on Jordan Love. The name he was looking for was Jalen Hurts.

Wrong quarterback, right sentiment.

Or when Oren Burks’ hit to force a fumble on the game’s opening kickoff was what Brady deemed “an absolutely clean hit.” The helmet-to-helmet hit would imply something different, but it went uncalled — and led to an Eagles touchdown, so we won’t harp on that one too much.

In typical Brady fashion, once he settled in, he stepped up. Known to elevate his game during the postseason, Brady did the same during his first postseason behind the mic. The future Hall of Fame quarterback even pulled out some rhymes. First, there was a “same push, different tush” call during a Packers Tush Push.

Later, he dropped this …

All in all, it was a solid first postseason game for Brady.

Football games are long. That’s a fact. But A.J. Brown found a way to multitask, cracking open a book on the Eagles sideline.

Brown seemed unfazed as he flipped through the pages of Jim Murphy’s Inner Excellence. And while Brady said it wasn’t something he’d personally do during a game, it’s not the first time Brown has picked up some reading material on the sideline.

After the game, Brown told reporters that he often reads the book on the sideline, and that it wasn’t a reflection of any frustration with his lack of targets. He finished with one reception (on three targets) for 10 yards.

Who knows, maybe that inner excellence will help lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl. Whatever it takes, A.J.

Brady and Burkhardt sang the praises of the Eagles offensive line often Sunday evening. Like, bring-it-up-multiple-times-in-the-first-quarter-alone often, especially after Hurts’ six seconds of pocket protection on the Eagles’ first touchdown of the game.

The duo really emphasized how the offense line serves as the foundation of the team.

Composed of three Pro Bowlers in Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, and Lane Johnson, Brady and Burkhardt were quick to express their approval while emphasizing the job O-line coach Jeff Stoutland has done. They also said what many Eagles fans have been thinking, calling out Jordan Mailata as a notable snub from the Pro Bowl selection after leading the league in run blocking grade, according to Pro Football Focus.

After sorting out which quarterback was which, Brady was highly critical of Love throughout the game. He was quick to point out a number of missed opportunities by Love in the passing game. While asking him to come through like Packers predecessors Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers might have been a big ask, Brady made no excuses for the quarterback.

Perhaps that’s a little harsh for a team that was devastated with injuries to their offensive line and wide receivers throughout the game.

Brady did make up for it slightly when pointing out how Love had a tough task when considering the attrition and costly penalties throughout the game.

If there is one person Brady and Burkhardt love to compliment as much as the Eagles offensive line, it’s Zack Baun.

They extended the praise to Howie Roseman for his role in acquiring Baun — and converting him to a linebacker — and the All-Pro had himself a game, complete with an interception. It was fitting for the Wisconsin native going up against a team from his home state.

Baun, a “freak athlete” according to Brady, also ran step for step with Quinyon Mitchell on the final interception of the game.
