NFL legend Tom Brady fired a savage dig at comedian Kevin Hart during the live broadcast of the Super Bowl between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on FOX.
Chiefs were looking to become the first NFL team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls in history - dubbed in the media as a 'three-peat' - but fell apart in dramatic fashion against a dominant Eagles side in New Orleans.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a disastrous night in the first three quarters, seeing numerous passes intercepted and failing to release the football early enough on several occasions.
It was a difficult evening for the Chiefs' offensive line as well, with Travis Kelce in particular not having any sort of meaningful impact until the final quarter, when the match was over as a contest.

Watching on was Brady, the legendary NFL quarterback turned color commentator who was covering the game live for FOX Sports.
Brady won the Super Bowl seven times during his career, more than any other player, and Mahomes' performance in the Caesars Superdrome may have surprised him as much as anybody watching.
But during the match, he also took a slight detour from commentating on the Super Bowl to aim a savage yet humorous dig at Kevin Hart.
The comedian participated in a roast of Brady last year, in which he took aim at his NFL career but also his personal life, including his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Brady stated that he had 'regrets' over some the topics brought up in the roast, and Hart told Bleacher Report: "I could have tapered it a little different, saying or having a conversation pre of, like, 'Guys, let's go and do this, but let's not touch this or this'."
When alerted to the fact that Hart was present at Caesars Superdrome on Sunday night, Brady made a brutal reference to the comedian's 5ft 5in height: "Kevin Hart's here? How do the cameras find Kevin Hart?"
He then added: "Kevin, I love you. You took so many shots at me in May - I'm coming right back at you."
