Tom Brady Sends Shockwaves Across the League After Calling the Colts the Best Team in Football – Patriots Fans Outraged Amid Rumors Brady Wants to Coach in Indianapolis – His Response to the Coaching Question Leaves Everyone Stunned
October 31, 2025

Foxborough, Massachusetts – The NFL world erupted this week after Tom Brady, widely regarded as the greatest player in league history, praised the Indianapolis Colts as “the best team in the NFL right now.” The remark immediately sent social media into chaos — and Patriots fans into outrage — especially after rumors began circulating that Brady “might be considering joining the Colts as a coach.”

Brady made the comments during his Let’s Go! podcast with Jim Gray and Larry Fitzgerald, when asked which team had impressed him the most this season. With his signature calm and measured tone, Brady gave an answer that no one expected:
“The Colts are doing what every team dreams of — they’re united, disciplined, and they win together. Daniel Jones is playing outstanding football, Steichen is coaching brilliantly, and that entire group deserves to be called the best team in the NFL right now.”

Within minutes, the quote went viral. Hashtag #BradyToColts trended across X (formerly Twitter) as Patriots fans voiced their anger. One top comment read: “He’s praising the one team he used to destroy — what’s happening to our GOAT?”

Sports outlets immediately jumped on the story, with analysts speculating that Brady might be “eyeing a potential advisory or coaching role” with the Colts — the same franchise that stood as his fiercest rival throughout his two-decade dynasty in New England. Some even suggested that “a Brady-Steichen collaboration isn’t impossible.”

But Brady quickly shut down the growing speculation. When directly asked whether he’d ever consider coaching for the Colts, he smiled and replied:
“I respect what they’re doing, I really do. But coaching the Colts? Never. I’ve got too many memories competing against them. I still hate them — in the best, most competitive way — but I can admit they’re really good.”

His words left fans both relieved and amused — the perfect mix of honesty and classic Brady charm.

Skip Bayless (FOX Sports) summed it up perfectly: “Only Tom Brady could praise the Colts and declare he’d never work for them in the same breath.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Darlington (ESPN) added: “Brady speaks the truth — if he says the Colts are the best team in football, you can take that to the bank.”

Brady may never wear the horseshoe logo, but hearing the GOAT himself admit that Indianapolis is the best team in the NFL right now is enough to make Colts Nation beam with pride.

And back in Foxborough, Patriots fans can only sigh — the balance of power has shifted, and for now, all roads lead through Indianapolis.

Less Than 48 Hours After AFC Championship 7-10 Loss to Patriots, Broncos Stun NFL by Firing OC Super Bowl XLIV Joe Lombardi
Less Than 48 Hours After AFC Championship Loss, Broncos Stun NFL by Firing Super Bowl XLIV OC Joe Lombardi Denver, Colorado – January 2026 Less than 48 hours after a heartbreaking 10–7 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, the Denver Broncos sent shockwaves through the NFL. In a move few saw coming, Denver dismissed offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, signaling an immediate and unforgiving response to falling one step short of the Super Bowl. The decision was first reported and confirmed by Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The timing alone raised eyebrows across the league, as postseason firings typically follow deeper internal reviews. Instead, Denver acted swiftly, making it clear that even a conference championship appearance would not shield staff from accountability. The #Broncos fired OC Joe Lombardi, per me and @TomPelissero. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 27, 2026 Lombardi spent three seasons in Denver under head coach Sean Payton, a long-time collaborator from their years together with the Saints. Lombardi was part of New Orleans’ Super Bowl XLIV championship staff in 2009 and was widely respected for his system knowledge and experience in high-pressure environments. That résumé made the decision even more surprising. Adding to the shock, Lombardi was credited internally with unlocking the potential of rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Before Nix suffered a broken bone in his ankle, Denver’s offense had shown notable growth and composure. Many around the league believe the Broncos might have won the AFC Championship had Nix been healthy enough to finish the game. Complicating the aftermath, a controversial quote attributed to Lombardi circulated online shortly after his dismissal, alleging wrongdoing by New England. “The Patriots cheated and it cost me my job,” the statement read. Neither the Broncos nor the NFL substantiated the claim, and team sources stressed the firing was strictly performance-based, not influenced by outside narratives. Inside the organization, the move is being framed as a necessary reset. While Payton is known for loyalty to his assistants, the lack of offensive rhythm in the championship game — particularly with the backup quarterback — reportedly accelerated the decision. Denver’s leadership appears unwilling to allow postseason stagnation to linger. With Bo Nix positioned as the franchise cornerstone, the Broncos will now search for a modern offensive coordinator capable of thriving under playoff pressure. By acting immediately, Denver sent a clear message to the league: close is not close enough. In a Super Bowl-or-bust era, the margin for patience in Denver has officially vanished.
