There are no re-dos on live television, which Tom Brady found out on Sunday afternoon as his mind went completely blank when trying to present a key figure to build up the Vikings-Packers matchup.
Heading into the NFC North clash, Green Bay only had four losses, as Brady pointed out.
There was a pair of defeats coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions. Also, the Packers lost their season opener in Brazil to the Eagles. And the fourth loss was… exactly when Brady’s mind went black.
If Brady had looked out of his broadcast booth and out into the US Bank Stadium crowd, he may have figured out the answer.
In Week 4, Minnesota defeated Green Bay at Lambeau Field, before Sunday’s rematch which yielded the same result.
The Packers are now 11-5 and locked into either the No 6 or 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, meaning a road game is coming in the Wild Card round, and if they make it that far, the Divisional round.

Paired with Kevin Burkhardt, Brady typically gets one of the biggest NFL games every week.
It was no exception on Sunday, as Brady called the only weekend matchup containing two teams with double-digit wins.
Based on which game gets flexed by the NFL into the Sunday night slot could see Brady calling an all-NFC North matchup for a second straight week with the Vikings and Lions set to face in the final week of the regular season.
Brady has shown plenty of improvements in the broadcast booth this season. Maybe Sunday can be considered two steps forward, one step back.
