Terry Bradshaw injected humor into the latest episode of Fox NFL Sunday, especially during the segment featuring Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matt Stafford as a special guest host. Stafford took the opportunity to join the Fox NFL Sunday team during Week 6 while the Rams had a bye week, allowing him some downtime to analyze the week's football action alongside the show's regular hosts.
Right from the start, Terry Bradshaw made it clear that he is a huge fan of Stafford's skills and charisma. "You've got a fan there," Jimmy Johnson quipped while pointing toward Bradshaw, to which Bradshaw confidently responded, "Well, he knows that." This playful acknowledgment brought a smile to Stafford's face, leading him to exchange a warm handshake with Bradshaw as he expressed, "Terry is my guy." Bradshaw cheekily affirmed, "We are buddies, we are."
Comedy ensued when Howie Long asked if Stafford ever calls the Pittsburgh Steelers legend, prompting a humorous response from Bradshaw. "He calls me once every four years," Bradshaw joked, which sent the entire Fox NFL Sunday team into fits of laughter, adding a lighthearted moment to the sports analysis. Stafford's guest appearance was well-received by NFL fans, who took to social media to express their enjoyment.

As the NFL season brought its annual London fixtures, the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings kicked off the lineup with a game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This match on October 6 was followed by the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Chicago Bears at the same venue the following week. The schedule includes the Jags heading to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots on October 20.
Meanwhile, Stafford shared insights into his expert throwing techniques as a quarterback, drawing from his impressive career stats. Though not having the most outstanding season currently, Stafford boasts over 57,000 passing yards and 360 touchdowns, along with a Super Bowl win with the Rams in 2021. With two years left on his contract with the Rams, Stafford's potential post-retirement opportunities, like joining Fox NFL Sunday's cast, look promising after his engaging appearance on the show.
