What game is Tom Brady calling? FOX broadcaster's duties for Week 16 explored

Since the start of the 2024 season, Tom Brady has transitioned from the most talked-about player to the most talked-about broadcaster in football. Brady is the lead analyst on FOX Sports and he's in the first year of a long-term deal to broadcast weekly NFL games.

Ahead of the Week 16 slate of games, let's examine the matchup the seven-time Super Bowl champion will call.

Which game is Tom Brady calling in Week 16?

Tom Brady will call the Baltimore Ravens versus Pittsburgh Steelers game on Saturday, live from M&T Bank Stadium.

Here's what you need to know about the game:

• Date: December 21, 2024
• Livestream: FuboTV and DAZN
• Time: 4:30 p.m. E.T
• TV: FOX
• Venue: M&T Bank Stadium

Brady will be joined by Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play commentator) and the duo of Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi (sideline reporters). The trio has been part of the lead FOX broadcasting team this season.

For the first time in over two decades, Brady is the rookie on the team. The future Hall of Famer has endured some growing pains in broadcasting, but it's clear that he's getting the hang of it as the season progresses.

How are the Ravens and Steelers performing this season?

The Baltimore Ravens enter Week 16 with a 9-5 record. They have been mostly solid this season, with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry carrying the offensive load. However, since they have suffered five close defeats, it has made their path to the Super Bowl trickier than they would've liked.

John Harbaugh's team will fancy its chances against the Pittsburgh Steelers, although defensively resolute, have shown that they can be breached. Jackson and Henry will be the players to watch, while Zay Flowers can contribute via the passing game if required.

The Steelers are enjoying a stellar season. They enter Week 16 with a 10-4 record and are highly regarded for their gritty defense and competent offensive play.

Pittsburgh will make the trip to Baltimore to face last year's AFC championship finalists. The Steelers will test the Ravens' defense which has been vulnerable over the last couple of weeks. The game is expected to be an exciting battle between two Super Bowl-winning coaches and perennial Pro Bowl quarterbacks.
