You probably don’t believe what you saw happen on FOX in Sunday of Week 14.
The network bailed on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the San Francisco 49ers in the third quarter.
The switch was made to the Carolina Panthers-Seattle Seahawks game.
Now, why would that happen? Because Brock Purdy and the 49ers were up 35-0 midway through the third quarter.
FOX has cut away from Bucs-49ers and Panthers-Seahawks is now on for most of the country.

The Panthers led the Seahawks 20-17 as the game headed toward the fourth quarter.
Imagine Geno Smith and Sam Darnold being more attractive than Tom Brady, who will work for FOX when his NFL career concludes.
Stunning.
Tom Brady is about suffer a seventh regular-season loss for the first time in 20 years. Since becoming a starter in 2001, he's never had eight.
