The Dallas Cowboys will forever be a part of legendary quarterback Tom Brady's story. It was the Cowboys who would be Brady's final opponent in a game that Brady and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers would lose.

However, the history books prove that Brady had a pretty good run against the Cowboys throughout his legendary career.

Brady's only loss to the Cowboys during his career was in his final game against the franchise. Someone with a 7-1 record against the Cowboys is probably a good voice to listen to when it comes to preparing for Dallas.

This week, the Cowboys will meet the Washington Commanders in a game set to kick off at 4:25 pm ET. That means the sun glare at AT&T Stadium will be in full force.

Brady will be on the call for the game on Fox, and was asked about the now-famous glare inside Jerry's world.

"The one thing I remember about that, and this is kind of a controversial take, is the glare through the glass at the certain time of the day and certain time of the year, was definitely in our eyes," said Brady.
