Monday night’s Simpsons Funday Football broadcast of the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys game featured a first in league history.
Simpsons star Homer Simpson threw a touchdown to Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. Yes, that Homer Simpson.
Rather than have a Simpsons-ized version of Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush, the broadcast put an actual Homer Simpson cartoon in the game to throw a touchdown to a wide-open Lamb in the end zone.
Honestly, Homer Simpson’s touchdown throw to Lamb might be one of the best Cowboys fans have seen this season. We hear he’s a free agent.
Of course, NFL fans had some great jokes off this truly bizarre moment.
