PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan brought humor to FOX NFL Sunday during their analysis of the NFL Wild Card game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. The Eagles secured a 22-10 victory at Lincoln Financial Field, advancing to the Divisional Round against the Los Angeles Rams.

The lighthearted moment unfolded after Howie Long delivered a detailed breakdown of the Packers’ chances. Strahan jokingly asked Long, “Do you need an oxygen tank because you’ve been going for a while?” Long responded with a laugh, “Yeah, I do,” prompting Bradshaw to mimic providing air support from behind. The playful exchange had the entire crew, including Curt Menefee, Jimmy Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, and Jay Glazer, in stitches.

Bradshaw, 76, a four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Strahan, 53, a former New York Giants defensive end and Super Bowl XLII winner, have become fan favorites in their post-playing careers. Bradshaw joined FOX in 1994, while Strahan, who retired in 2008, also hosts popular shows like ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘Pyramid.’

Earlier in the show, Strahan made headlines by picking the Packers to upset the Eagles, despite the latter being heavily favored. “I’m desperate for a win so I’m going to take the upset,” Strahan said. When questioned by Menefee, Strahan defended his choice, saying, “I think Green Bay is going to win the game, obviously.” Bradshaw quipped, “Are you sensitive?” drawing laughter from the panel.

Strahan’s prediction fell short as the Eagles dominated the game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns, connecting with Jahan Dotson and Dallas Goedert. DeVonta Smith led the receiving corps with four catches for 55 yards, while Goedert added 47 yards and a touchdown. Running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 119 yards on 25 carries, sealing the victory with a game-ending slide to avoid a turnover.

The Eagles now face the Rams in the Divisional Round, while the FOX NFL Sunday team prepares for Saturday’s NFC matchup between the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions. The Lions are favored, with Tom Brady set to join the broadcast booth.

In other playoff action, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Houston Texans, and the Baltimore Ravens will visit the Buffalo Bills. Super Bowl LIX, scheduled for February 9 in New Orleans, will be broadcast by FOX, with the Chiefs aiming for a third consecutive championship.
