Tom Brady drew eyes across social media on Sunday evening as he called the Buffalo Bills versus Philadelphia Eagles Week 17 game on FOX. The seven-time Super Bowl champion sported a black glove on his left hand while leaving his right hand bare.
The unusual choice sparked discussion, with fans and viewers wondering why Brady would wear only one glove while sitting in the broadcast booth. The matchup took place at Orchard Park, with Brady alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and former teammate Rob Gronkowski.
At first, some suggested Brady kept his right hand bare to hold the microphone more easily. Later, as the game continued, he had the headset on and wasn’t holding a mic. Analysts theorized the right-handed legend might prefer to write notes or mark sheets without a glove, a practical decision for the broadcast setting.
Brady acknowledged the welcome from Bills fans in Buffalo. He said, “Warm embrace. A lot of people with that one-finger salute they were giving me as I looked down from the press box. Kind of reminding me how much they enjoyed me coming to town, I guess.”

Why Is Tom Brady Wearing Just One Glove?
The reason why Tom Brady wore just one glove remains unclear, but social media had plenty of theories. One X user joked, “Does Tom Brady think he’s playing? Why is he wearing one glove in the booth?”
Another added, “Anyone else notice Tom Brady wearing one black glove in the broadcast booth during this Bills game? Is he trying to say something?”
Some fans went even further, with one commenting, “Tom Brady has one glove on in the booth. Is he going for a Michael Jackson look, O.J. Simpson, or Luke Skywalker?”
