Greg Olsen quickly became one of the best NFL analysts after joining FOX's No. 1 broadcast team. Then he got demoted when the network signed Tom Brady to a huge deal following his legendary NFL career.
Olsen took the move like a real professional and continues to shine every Sunday. This week he's working alongside Jason Benetti, who is also really good at his job, as Joe Davis is calling MLB playoff games for FOX.
Olsen and Benetti shared a funny moment during Sunday's Browns-Commanders game when Olsen delivered a perfect one-liner about their short time working together.
"You going for this?" Benetti asked Olsen about the Commanders facing a fourth-and-2 at Cleveland's 14-yard-line.
"I am," Olsen said. "I'm aggressive by nature. Jason, I know we haven't worked a lot together."
"I can tell, Benetti said. "It comes through the TV."
Here's that moment:
Jason Benetti: You going for this?

Fans are loving this broadcast team:
Benetti and Olsen is an ELITE broadcasting pairing and it’s a shame we’re only getting it because Joe Davis is doing baseball playoffs. https://t.co/r0LkCc3mOU

Could listen to Benetti and Olsen call games all day. Olsen Is great at the X's and O's, and Benetti is an absolute legend at play-by-play.

Easily the best in the business in baseball and somehow brings that same informative, well-paced, and intelligent style to his NFL calls. https://t.co/xEJqo1APV4
They might be my second favorite crew after Kevin Harlan and (insert whoever you want because Kevin Harlan is the GOAT) https://t.co/HWoh0YQ1aq

Benetti is so good at this, it's unfair. Announcing a league he rarely covers, and working with a partner he's unfamiliar with, and he sounds like he's been doing this for years.

He's making the rest of us look bad! https://t.co/wkKy02QNzD
I know it’s not as noticeable but one of the bigger mistakes ESPN made was letting Benetti go. I’m glad for the next few weeks he’s getting exposure on the number 2 NFL team. https://t.co/xJBIcw2b7u
