Football fans noticed the same concerning thing about Troy Aikman during tonight’s Wild Card Round playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings on ‘Monday Night Football.’
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are calling their penultimate game of the 2024 NFL season. The pair will conclude their duties for the year on Saturday when they call the Kansas City Chiefs-Houston Texans Divisional Round game at Arrowhead Stadium.
But throughout the contest, football fans noticed that something seemed off with Aikman’s voice. In this clip below, you’ll notice that the voice of the three-time Super Bowl champion sounds a lot different:
