Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wasn’t on the field on Monday night during his team’s 34—31 win over the Jaguars, but ESPN play-by-play commentator Joe Buck still found multiple ways to work the injured signal-caller’s name into the broadcast. One of the ways Buck chose to do so was with a joke that didn’t land too well and ultimately was cringe-inducing.
After Bengals running back Joe Mixon plunged into the end zone for a 6-yard score in the second quarter, Buck and fellow ESPN commentator Troy Aikman turned things over to NFL rules analyst John Parry, asking the former official if he thought the halfback had scored before his wrist hit the ground.
Aikman asked Parry if the wrist was part of the hand, which is when Buck cracked his one-liner, telling his partner to “ask Joe Burrow.”
