During the Buffalo Bills vs. Seattle Seahawks Week 9 showdown, Tom Brady, serving as a FOX analyst, stirred up some controversy with a sharp comment about Bills quarterback Josh Allen. While covering the NFL matchup on Sunday, Brady caught viewers off guard by referring to Allen as a “spazz,” suggesting the quarterback sometimes plays like “a grade-schooler on a sugar high.”

The remark came as the Bills led the Seahawks 7-0 in the first half, leaving fans surprised by Brady’s candid assessment. Social media quickly erupted, with fans taking to platforms like X to verify and react to the comment. One viewer questioned, “Did Tom Brady just call Josh Allen a SPAZZ?” while another voiced disapproval, “Brady really just said a player played like a spazz… Ew.”

The word “spazz” has come under scrutiny recently, with artists like Beyoncé and Lizzo removing it from songs after disability advocates highlighted its negative connotations.

The moment wasn’t the only one that sparked reactions. Brady’s lighthearted “Hey Macarena” joke also drew mixed responses from fans, some expressing irritation at his attempts at humor during the game. Critics didn’t hold back, with one viewer noting, “Live television is a different kind of beast, and Tom Brady stinks at it,” and another adding, “It’s unbelievable how bad Tom Brady is in the booth.”

Meanwhile, Josh Allen managed to rebound from a mid-game interception, ending the first half with a touchdown to Dalton Kincaid that expanded the Bills’ lead to 14-3. He finished the half with solid numbers, completing 16 of 22 passes for 152 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, with his mobility showcased through several impressive plays.

Tom Brady Goes Viral for Comment on Bills QB Josh Allen’s ‘Caboose’

During his first stint as a commentator covering the Buffalo Bills, Tom Brady—who once dominated the team as a player—had nothing but positive things to say about them, especially quarterback Josh Allen. As the in-booth analyst for FOX’s broadcast of Buffalo’s 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on October 27, Brady expressed his admiration for the Bills franchise and its passionate fanbase. He was particularly enthusiastic in his praise of Allen, delivering a vibrant description of the quarterback that quickly made waves online.

Tom Brady Admired Allen’s Lower-Body Strength

After Josh Allen powered through Seattle’s defensive line on a 4th-and-1 quarterback sneak, Tom Brady couldn’t resist commenting on Allen’s impressive lower-body strength. “That’s a big boy with big powerful legs and a big powerful caboose,” Brady remarked, adding a bit of humor to his admiration.

Brady then admitted he wished he had Allen’s physique for short-yardage plays. “I wish I had one like Allen. I didn’t have much of one,” Brady joked. “I tried to wormhole that thing through there on quarterback sneaks, but Josh has all the power.”

The comment quickly gained viral attention, as fans shared Brady’s humorous admiration on social media. Although Brady’s teams defeated Allen in all four of their NFL matchups, the two have developed a close bond, even competing together in a televised golf match in 2022.

Josh Allen Thankful for Bills Faithful

The Bills commanded the game against the Seahawks on Sunday, silencing Seattle’s lively crowd and advancing to a 6-2 record. After the win, Tom Brady spoke with Josh Allen, asking for his thoughts on the victory. Allen was quick to give a shoutout to the Bills fans, who brought plenty of energy to the stadium.

“It felt great,” Allen told Brady. “I’ll tell you what feels great right now is Bills Mafia. We are in the building. This is a fun one for them. It was a complementary team win, very happy for our guys. I threw an interception—sometimes that happens—but I made a tackle, gave our defense a chance, and they made a stop. Really happy for our guys.”

Allen also praised new teammate Amari Cooper, who, despite recording just one three-yard catch in his second game with the Bills since being traded from the Cleveland Browns, has already proven valuable in drawing defensive coverage and opening up options for other receivers.

“He draws a lot of attention,” Allen said. “When he’s got single coverage on the backside, there’s usually a safety over the top, which creates more chances for other guys. He’s a true professional, and I’m lucky to play with him. As we build our connection, he’ll get more involved, and I’m excited for that.”
