Cowboys made Troy Aikman look bad with easy touchdown
Being an announcer in NFL games is not an easy job, and Troy Aikman knows that well. Once you get into sharing opinions on strategy, things can backfire as they did for Aikman.
Aikman and Joe Buck were on the call for the Monday night NFC Wild Card Playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dallas was leading 6-0 and had a 4th-and-goal at the Tampa Bay 1 with over six minutes left in the second quarter.
Right as the Cowboys were lined up to go for it, Aikman said that he would attempt a field goal.
“Boy, I think I’d take the three,” Aikman said.
Just a second after Aikman said that, Dak Prescott faked a handoff and bootlegged into the end zone untouched on a perfect play call.
