Tom Brady delights fans with cheeky Dan Quinn remarks before sharing amusing moment with Jayden Daniels
Tom Brady playfully made fun of Dan Quinn as he called the Washington Commanders' shock playoff win against the Detroit Lions.
Washington booked their place in the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1991 season with a stunning 45-31 win over the top-seeded Lions at Ford Field on Saturday.

Led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, the Commanders offense accumulated an impressive 482 yards against a beat-up Detroit defense.
With less than five minutes on the clock in a two-score game, Fox cameras picked up Washington's owner Josh Harris on the sideline, who had made his way down to the field to stand with his players.
Brady, on the call alongside Kevin Burkhardt, had a one-liner ready to go for such a moment.
"I'm not sure Coach Quinn likes owners coming down onto the field before the game is over… my bad, Dan," he quipped.

The comment was a cheeky reference to Super Bowl LI - the iconic '28-3' game.
Back in 2017, quarterback Brady led the New England Patriots to a historic victory over Quinn's Atlanta Falcons, coming back from 28-3 down to win 34-28 in overtime.
As those events unfolded, Falcons owner Arthur Blank was spotted on the sidelines, ready to celebrate a win that would later go to Brady and the Patriots.
It seems Brady hasn't forgotten what happened at NRG Stadium in Houston eight years ago, and his cheeky remark appeared to delight many fans.

Some even suggested the comment contributed to his 'best broadcast' yet, in a season that he has come under the spotlight.
"Thought tonight was his best broadcast of the year. He’s starting to grow on me," one person said.

"This has been Tom Brady’s best broadcast. He’s been ahead of everything. Haters need to step down tonight," another said.
"Legendary," a third simply concluded, while a fourth suggested his $375million contract is 'worth every penny'.
Brady's Super Bowl LI comments proved a memorable moment during the Fox broadcast, and he also provided an amusing moment with winning quarterback Daniels afterwards.
NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner makes bold statement on Jayden Daniels
For each game he broadcasts during the 2024 season, the NFL legend awards his 'LFG Player of the Game' to that one player he sees on the field who makes him say: 'Let's f***ing go'.
Daniels, unsurprisingly, took the award on Saturday night, leading to an exchange between the pair.
"First, I want to ask you what LFG stands for?" the Commanders quarterback asked.

"It's inappropriate. It's a family-friendly program,” Brady laughed, before getting into the interview.
Daniels completed 22 of 31 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns in Washington’s upset win.
He is now hoping to become the first rookie QB in history to reach the Super Bowl, and will face either the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday.
