As the NFL's Christmas Day football feast approaches, a notable exception has emerged amid the network restrictions. While Fox and ESPN have reportedly banned their talent from working for Netflix on the streaming giant's holiday programming, former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has managed to secure a spot.
Brees, who joined Fox full-time in early November 2025 after Mark Sanchez's dismissal, will be calling the Minnesota Vikings-Detroit Lions game on Christmas Day. This represents a significant breakthrough for the legendary quarterback, whose transition to broadcasting has not been as smooth as his illustrious playing career.
