Drew Brees returning to the broadcast booth for Netflix's Christmas Day schedule

[ASFN Admin]

Drew Brees will be back in television this season, at least on Christmas Day. The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reports that the legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback will be working as a Netflix game analyst for either the noon kickoff between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders, or the Detroit Lions-Minnesota Vikings tilt later that afternoon.

If you're curious, Brees achieved a winning record against three of those four teams, while giving as good as he got against Washington:

• vs. Minnesota Vikings: 5-2
• vs. Detroit Lions: 5-3
• vs. Dallas Cowboys: 5-4
• vs. Washington Commanders: 4-4

Brees worked for Netflix last year as a studio analyst, but now he's returning to the broadcast booth after a one-and-done stint with NBC Sports back in 2021. Marchand adds that he's being eyed for a role at Fox Sports behind his old rivals Tom Brady and Greg Olsen. He's spoken often about enjoying work as a broadcaster and wanting another opportunity to prove he can do a good job at it. Now he's getting his chance.
