Week 16 of the NFL season has arrived and the playoff race is heating up. Seven of the 14 playoff spots are already spoken for, and we could see a few more claimed this weekend.
The NFL will follow a bit of an untraditional schedule this week. There will be the typical games on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, but we’ll also have a Saturday doubleheader featuring Texans vs. Chiefs and Steelers vs. Ravens.
The schedule may be shaken up a bit, but we’ll still have Tom Brady in the booth calling a game for Fox this weekend. Let’s see which matchup he’ll be covering in Week 16.

What game is Tom Brady calling today?
Over the course of the season, Brady has typically called Fox’s top game each week. This week, he’ll be covering an AFC North clash between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. This game in Baltimore is part of the two-game Saturday slate.
The “Brady Crew” has consisted of Brady, Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi throughout the year. This trio will join Brady once again in Week 16, with Burkhardt up in the booth while Andrews and Rinaldi cover the game from the sidelines.
This game has significant implications within the AFC North and the overall AFC playoff picture. The Steelers currently hold a one-game lead over the Ravens in the division.
A Baltimore victory will leave both teams with a 10-5 record, but Baltimore would still be second in the division, as they would still have a worse conference record than Pittsburgh. However, a win for Baltimore this weekend would make the AFC North race very interesting over the final two weeks of the year.
