Tom Brady's Week 3 NFL Power Rankings 🚨
Brady drew the crowd. His Week 3 NFL power rankings passed 230,000 views in their first nine hours on FOX Sports, where a new upload usually collects around ten thousand in a full first day. This one is heading for close to forty times that.
The segment is simple. Brady lists his top ten teams, and the description names the Las Vegas Raiders, San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs among them. Since the 2024 season Brady has been FOX's lead NFL game analyst alongside Kevin Burkhardt, so the seven-time Super Bowl champion is not only calling the games but ranking the teams in them. The Raiders entry carries an extra layer, because Brady is also a minority owner of the club.
The comments are where the rankings come alive. Brock Purdy is the name viewers mention most. Many thank Brady for putting the 49ers on top, and one notices that even his praise leans on words like "franchise" and "manager" when describing the quarterback. Buffalo gets its own thread, where viewers point to the Bills' turnovers. Another viewer calls Brady's long relationship with Bills Mafia a favorite sitcom, which fits a quarterback who faced Buffalo twice a season for two decades in New England. Raiders supporters, meanwhile, are already looking ahead to their game against the Chiefs.
The channel posted the video twice. A second upload with the identical title, carrying the channel's podcast tags, sits at a few thousand views. The rankings found their crowd in only one of them.
