New England Patriots got to see the franchise GOAT, Tom Brady, back in Foxborough on Sunday, but not as a player, of course. Brady was at Gillette Stadium for the Week 9 showdown between Drake Maye’s Pats and the visiting Green Bay Packers, covering the game from the booth for Fox Sports alongside his partner Kevin Burkhardt.
Before the game, Brady took a stroll down on the field and even greeted Maye.

That was quite a powerful image, with New England’s former and current quarterbacks sharing a brief moment together on the field. Brady won six Super Bowl rings with New England, while Maye is still searching for his first. Maye came just a win away from delivering that to himself and New England last season, but fell to Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
Fans React to Drake Maye’s Pregame Meetup With Tom Brady
“Its like seeing yourself,” said a fan on X.
Another one said: “Tom Brady walked through sniffing the air like this is my house and will always be my house
From a commenter: “Tom Brady cursed that [expletive] before the game with a hex and a touch
“Body language expert here, Looks like Drake is extremely uncomfortable,” a social media user posted.
Via a different commenter: “OH MY AURA”
Said another: “Tampering, the dude owns the Raiders”
Unfortunately for Maye and the Pats, they weren’t able to capitalize on the aura added by Brady to the atmosphere at Gillette Stadium, as they suffered an embarrassing 45-27 loss to the Packers.
Maye threw for 299 yards, completing only 21 of 38 passes, with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
