The Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs squared off during Sunday Night Football. As always, Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call, and a call made by Nantz had fans in shambles on social media.
The Bills won the game by a score of 30 to 21, and a play late in the fourth quarter had fans on social media going wild after Jim Nantz claimed that Bills receiver Khalil Shakir had just gotten something quite interesting done to him.
Shakir caught a pass on a third downplay while Buffalo was ahead by a score of just 23-21. Driving down the field late in the fourth quarter, he took a big hit and held on to the ball for a crucial first down.
Nantz didn’t say anything like that. While he was clearly impressed with the receiver’s ability to hang on to the ball, he also mentioned that “Cook absolutely blasted his back,” and social media is going insane after the hilarious choice of wording.
They did WHAT to Khalil Shakir, Jim?

Another NFL fan took Nantz’s comments a little further by adding to what he said. “Bent him back like a rag doll,” went user David Bachman, clearly show that Nantz held back on what he could have said during the broadcast.

Other fans didn’t have to say any words. After hearing what Nantz said, one replied with an image of Shaq calling a timeout, while another fan used a gif of Steve Harvey simply smiling at what the broadcaster said.
