From one handsome man to another.

Viewers tuning into Sunday’s NFC North clash between the Packers and Lions were treated to a Matt LaFleur swoon-fest, courtesy of Fox’s lead NFL analyst, Tom Brady.

With Green Bay lining up for a third-and-three while trailing 7-3 in the second quarter at Lambeau Field, Brady — in his first season as a commentator — spoke glowingly of the Packers coach, particularly his grooming habits.

“Look at that guy. Look at that perfect little mustache and goatee that he’s got,” the seven-time Super Bowl winner said as the camera panned to LaFleur.

“… I was so impressed when I saw him in the tunnel, such a handsome guy. He said he spends $100 a week keeping himself looking like that.”

The sound bite unsurprisingly gained traction on social media, with fans zoning in on the timing of the LaFleur praise.

“It’s a key third and short in a massive divisional game & Tom Brady just spent a solid 45 seconds talking about how handsome Matt Lafleur is,” one X user posted.

“Tom Brady taking a few seconds out the broadcast to call Matt LaFleur handsome is so f–king funny,” another wrote.

One viewer also quipped, “I did not have Tom Brady gushing over Matt LeFleur’s [sic] appearance on my bingo card today!”

The LaFleur remarks weren’t the only Brady comments that stirred buzz Sunday.

Before the Lions secured a 24-14 victory over their division rival, Detroit defensive back Brian Branch was controversially tossed after a hit on Packers receiver Bo Melton.

Although Brady briefly weighed in on the events before pivoting back to the game, it remains to be seen if there will be fallout from the remarks given his new title as minority owner of the Raiders.

Brady’s ownership status prohibits the future Hall of Famer from critiquing game officials and other teams publicly, among other limitations.

The former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback was approved as a minority owner last month.
