Overview
- Brady’s top three features the Seahawks at No. 1, the Broncos at No. 2, and the Patriots at No. 3 heading into the 2026 NFL playoffs.
- Seattle earned the nod after a 14-3 season capped by 14 straight wins, including a road victory over the 49ers in Week 18.
- Denver followed a 14-3 campaign and an AFC West title, with FOX’s segment framing the AFC as running through Mile High.
- New England’s 14-3 season under rookie quarterback Drake Maye placed the Patriots third on Brady’s board.
- Outlets diverged on the rest of the list, with Newsweek including the Rams in Brady’s top five while Bleacher Report listed the Chargers, and Newsweek noted Brady published only a top 10 that omitted the Steelers, Chargers, Panthers, and Packers; Brady is also slated to work Fox’s 49ers–Eagles broadcast.
