Terry Bradshaw is an NFL legend and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The quarterback played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1970-83 and won four Super Bowls, two Super Bowl MVPs, and was named to the Pro Bowl three times.

Bradshaw was also the NFL MVP in 1978, and his career was impressive during his playing days.

In total, Bradshaw threw for 27,989 yards with 212 touchdowns and 210 interceptions while rushing for 2,257 yards and 32 touchdowns.

The Steelers legend is still around the game, and he has been a studio analyst on Fox Sports’ “FOX NFL Sunday.”

On Sunday, Bradshaw was not on the "FOX NFL Sunday" show.

Some fans took to social media to ask if Bradshaw was ok, especially since he wasn't seen on the set.

He posted on Instagram the reason why.

"Just incase you notice, won't be on Fox today. Just have a cold. All good."

The "FOX NFL Sunday" crew includes Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Rob Gronkowski, Jay Glazer and Curt Menefee as the host.

A clip surfaced of only Strahan, Long and Menefee on the set with Bradshaw being at home.
