Troy Aikman was looking for a way to put Patrick Mahomes name in his mouth, and he quickly found one during a game where the Chiefs quarterback was nowhere in sight.
While the Denver Broncos were taking on the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football, Joe Buck spoke on rookie quarterback Bo Nix and how teams were likely sick to their stomachs for passing him up in the 2024 NFL Draft.
After Buck finished with his comments, Troy Aikman jumped in and said, “A lot of people around the league are saying the same thing about why they didn’t grab Patrick Mahomes.”
Aikman bringing up Mahomes in a game where he isn’t even playing had fans blasting him.
“Did Troy Aikman just compare teams passing up on Bo Nix to teams passing up on Mahomes?” one fan asked.
“Joe Buck: Bo Nix is so good at football. Troy Aikman: Yeah, but how about Patrick Mahomes?” one fan said as he mocked Aikman.
