The Leaders dominated the No. 1-seeded Lions on both sides of the ball in one of the wildest playoff games in recent memory.
Led by rising star quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington's offense piled up 521 total yards against an outmatched Detroit defense.
With just under five minutes left in the game, the Fox NFL broadcast showed captain Josh Harris on the sideline.
Brady was ready to deliver a one-liner after seeing Harris.
“I'm not sure Coach Quinn likes the owners getting on the field before the game is over,” he said England said the Patriots legend.
“Bad Danny.”
Brady's joke referenced the Patriots. Super Bowl Win over the then-Quenn-led Atlanta Falcons in 2017.
During the big game, the Falcons were ahead 28-3 and down Arthur Blank was on the sidelines, ready to celebrate a win that would only be given to Brady's team at New York England.
Unlike that game, the Queens would retain the lead and head to the NFC championship match for the first time in 33 years.
NFL fans are still amazed by Brady's “one-liner” regarding Quinn.
“Amazing stuff,” one person wrote.
Another commented, “I think tonight was his best stream of the year. He's starting to grow on me.”
A third added: “This might be Brady's best moment as a commentator, he was good tonight.”
The Chiefs entered the game as almost underdogs after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card round.
