Troy Aikman is under fire following a controversial statement he made on the “Monday Night Football” broadcast of the Chiefs-Raiders game.
While blasting a terrible roughing the passer call in the first half after Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones hit Raiders quarterback Derek Carr from behind, Aikman remarked, “My hope is the competition committee looks at this in the next set of meetings and, you know, we take the dresses off.”
The call extended a Raiders’ drive that was capped by a field goal and extended the team’s lead to 20–7.
Some watching the game that heard the comment took to Twitter and condemned his statement.

Aikman has yet to address the remark publicly.
The Chiefs would go on to win the AFC West matchup on Monday, 30-29, claiming their fourth victory of the season.
Aikman and Joe Buck will be back in the “Monday Night Football” booth next week when the Broncos visit the Chargers in Los Angeles.
