After every game where he’s on the call for Fox Sports, the legendary Tom Brady hands out the LFG Player of the Game award.
On Saturday night, Brady and Kevin Burkhardt were in Detroit for the NFC divisional round showdown between the top-seeded Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders.
The game had a surprising result, with the Commanders entering Detroit and knocking the Lions off in a 45-31 victory.
After the game, Brady named Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels as his LFG Player of the Game. That meant Brady would interview Daniels.
Daniels had a question of his own, though.
“I wanna ask you what LFG stands for,” the rookie sensation asked Brady.
“It’s inappropriate. It’s a family-friendly program,” the greatest of all time responded.

You can probably deduce what “LFG” stands for, but Daniels was excited about the opportunity to play in a game with Brady on the call for the first time this season.
Daniels completed 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns in Washington’s upset win. He also rushed for 51 yards, did not turn the ball over, and was not sacked.
Next week, Brady and Daniels will reunite in the NFC championship game. Washington will find out its destination on Sunday, whether in Philadelphia or Los Angeles.
