Home-field advantage makes all the difference in the NFL. There is a reason teams have consternation all week long before they play in venues such as Arrowhead Stadium, Lincoln Financial Field, and Lumen Field, regardless of what the team’s record may be.

EA Sports incorporated the concept of home-field advantage into their latest edition to the Madden NFL franchise. In Madden 22, there are home-field advantages for all 32 NFL teams.

Some create confusion. Some tucker out opponents quicker. Some pour on the momentum from a 55-gallon drum. Every venue presents its own challenge.

EA Sports shares ‘Madden’ screenshot of Tom Brady in Broncos uniform

Thanks to ‘Madden,’ we now know what Tom Brady would look like in a Broncos uniform.

The new league year and NFL free agency will begin on March 18 and Patriots pending free agent quarterback Tom Brady will be the hottest name to follow this offseason. It’s hard to imagine Brady leaving New England but there has been speculation that the QB could have a new team in 2020.

EA Sports, the creators of the NFL’s popular “Madden” video game, took to Twitter on Thursday to share of GIF of Brady wearing the uniforms of several different teams, including the Broncos.

Here’s what Brady would look like in orange and blue:

Speaking at the NFL combine last month, Denver general manager John Elway indicated that the team would be open to talking with Brady but they are “pretty happy with Drew [Lock].” Elway seems unlikely to bring in a 42-year-old Brady after a 23-year-old Lock went 4-1 last season.

Oddsmakers have given the Broncos 18/1 odds of landing Brady. We wouldn’t advise taking that bet — Brady is unlikely to land in Denver.

WATCH: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson breaks ‘Madden’ record

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will hold the highest-ever speed rating for a QB at 96 in the new “Madden NFL” update.

Lamar Jackson’s mark on the NFL is now moving from the football field to the virtual world.

When the “Madden NFL” video game franchise makes its latest round of updates on Thanksgiving day, the Ravens quarterback will hold the highest-ever speed rating for a QB at 96. Michael Vick held the previous record at 95.

Vick told USA Today Sports that he’s honored to be part of Jackson’s rise:

“It’s like the passing of the torch. I’m gone, but not forgotten. Look, with every highlight that Lamar makes, it reminds people of me. It will remind people of Cam (Newton). It will remind people of Russell (Wilson). It will remind people of (Randall) Cunningham. Donovan (McNabb), all the mobile quarterbacks who came before us and who are going to come after us.
