Tom Brady’s brain broke while reacting to Justin Jefferson’s epic TD catch

It’s not often NFL fans can relate to legendary quarterback Tom Brady, but when the seven-time Super Bowl winner is commenting on games, he reminds everyone that he gets excited about the game just like fans.

That was evident on Sunday during the Week 9 game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions, that Brady was on the call for.

After Detroit marched down the field for an impressive touchdown, where Lions tight end Sam LaPorta carried multiple Vikings defenders into the end zone, Minnesota quickly responded, and Justin Jefferson took things to another level with an impressive touchdown of his own.

The star receiver ran a simple fade route from the 10-yard line, stuck his right hand out, and plucked the ball out of the air with just one hand. Brady, reacting to the action on a TV broadcast watched by millions, couldn’t contain his excitement as he let out a scream that captured how impressed he was.

This has become par for the course for Brady as a color commentator. Seemingly every week, there’s a play that makes him let out a weird noise or scream in excitement.

While that’s not always how commentators go about things, it is a reminder that the legendary quarterback is a fan just like everyone else watching the game, and sometimes, emotions take over.

In addition to the touchdown, Vikings fans can also enjoy running back Aaron Jones running up to Jefferson after the score and saying, “they quiet now,” while shushing Detroit’s home crowd.

The quick exchange was a reminder that this is a rivalry between two really good NFC North teams, with a recent history of some high-stakes battles.

Like most games, Jefferson typically shows up big against Detroit. In 10 games against the Lions, the receiver is averaging 7.2 receptions for 120.8 yards. Unfortunately, Minnesota is 4-6 in those meetings.
