This season, most of the focus has surrounded the Detroit Lions and their explosive offense. But what has often been overlooked is just how competitive the entire NFC North has been. And with just two games to go in the season, the division is still up for grabs, which makes the Week 17 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings a critical one.

Fans Rip Brady During Vikings, Packers Telecast
But despite the importance of this matchup, viewers had there attention focused elsewhere during the telecast.
NFL legend Tom Brady is in his debut season as the lead broadcaster for the NFL on Fox. But fans were not too happy about his analysis of the matchup between the Packers and the Vikings which led to heavy criticism on social media.
"Tom Brady is really a terrible announcer. It's painful," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Tom trying to be perfect commentator rather than being Tom Brady commentating on the game is the problem," another user added.
Terrell Owens Puts Tom on Blast
Brady appears to be enjoying retirement quite well. Despite the constant criticism from fans, the future Hall of Fame appears to be settling into his role as lead NFL analyst on Fox. But the New England Patriots legend appears to still be fighting the ghosts of his playing days.
During an appearance on The Volume's "The Bubba Dub Show" Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens recalled being shunned by the star quarterback. Owens revealed that he reached out to Tom. In an effort to offer his services during his final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022. However, Brady never responded to his offer, which Owens found highly-offensive.
"Tom Brady ignored me, bro. I reached out to him through Randy [Moss] and a couple of other people, you know this dude really ignored me, bro," Owens said.
"It just shows you the lack of respect at the end of the day, but when they get in front of you they want to act like they respect you."
