Tom Brady called the big game between the Philadelphia Eagles at the Buffalo Bills. He went viral for his choice of fashion with one glove during it, but there’s a good reason for his “fashion” choice.

The 48-year-old future Hall of Famer and seven-time Super Bowl winner is now the lead analyst for games on FOX Sports. He’s always stood out with his fashion like with his ridiculously expensive watch that had Bills quarterback Josh Allen in awe of it.

Fans noticed during the broadcast at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo that the former QB only had one glove on.

Brady is used to dealing with cold weather with the New England Patriots and his time with the Michigan Wolverines.

It was around 40 degrees and pouring rain in Buffalo, so the winter gear was definitely needed. But why just one?

There’s a good explanation for it. Like when a quarterback only has a glove on his non-throwing hand so he can grip the ball, using the tablet with a glove on wouldn’t be easy. Brady needed that right hand for the technology the broadcast uses.

It still didn’t stop fans from having a field day with him, referencing a Bond villain, to O.J. Simpson, to Michael Jackson.
