The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles were heading to Super Bowl LIX, competing for the Lombardi Trophy. 

Before the Super Bowl matchup, FOX Sports announcer Kevin Burkhardt took to social media to share a few photos of the crew with Tom Brady and Erin Andrews at the NFC Championship Game. 

"Philly!" Burkhardt captioned the post. "Amazing weekend with my guy Tom Brady, Erin Andrews and our NFL on Fox crew. Games at the Linc always deliver! See ya in New Orleans."

Upon the release of the post, Brady sent a message to Burkhardt. 

"Onto the next one," Brady said.  

The FOX Sports crew will be covering the Super Bowl LIX matchup, set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET in the Superdome in New Orleans. 

Burkhardt will serve as the play-by-play analyst while Brady will be alongside him in the broadcast booth as the color commentator, and Andrews will serve as the sideline reporter. 

Brady is currently working in his first season alongside Burkhardt after a Hall of Fame NFL career. In 23 years with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady earned seven Super Bowl rings. 

According to Daniel Chavkin at The Sporting News, Brady is now signed to a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX Sports.
