If you're watching any of the NFL games on Fox on Sunday in 2024 Week 16, you may notice an absence: There's no Kevin Burkhardt or Tom Brady on the mics anywhere for the network.

Why is that the case?

There's a very good reason: the two of them called a game on Saturday between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, so it wouldn't make sense for them to do it again on Sunday.

So the top Fox broadcast team gets the day off, and we'll see them next week on one of the biggest games in Week 17.

There's your answer!
