‘So washed’ – NFL fans call out Troy Aikman over ‘ridiculous’ MNF comment

The Minnesota Vikings fans were left with very little to applaud on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills, but Byron Murphy’s interception on Josh Allen certainly impressed Troy Aikman. Allen was able to throw for 234 yards on Monday night in Minnesota, but the Vikings’ incredible defense was able to limit him to just one touchdown thrown. The Bills’ quarterback attempted a 36-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, which was intercepted by Murphy. As the Vikings’ cornerback returned it to around the halfway line, Aikman was left waxing lyrical about the interception: “One of the best plays I’ve ever seen.” Although no one will deny Murphy’s interception and return was impressive, there was a clear feeling among fans online that perhaps Aikman was taking his comments a little too far. NFL fans hit back at Troy Aikman’s praise of Byron Murphy’s interception DJ Moore was the intended receiver for Allen’s pass, but Murphy was able to fly in there and come away with the ball. A seriously impressive play, but one of the best ever seen? That felt like a slight exaggeration from Aikman . ‘Aikman is over it,’ replied one fan on X after seeing the clip of Aikman’s commentary. ‘Aikman is just there so he doesn’t get fined,’ another fan jokingly said in relation to Marshawn Lynch’s iconic interview. The colour commentator’s future with ESPN remains hanging in the balance as no new deal has been agreed between the two parties. Aikman’s commentary on Monday night clearly left a lot of people feeling as if he is now simply seeing out his time with the network. ‘That’s ridiculous, he would say that…’ replied another fan. ‘Troy is checked out,’ added another. Tony Romo featured on ESPN’s alternative coverage of Monday Night Football on the Field Pass show, which has left a number of viewers feeling as if the former CBS commentator was being ‘soft launched’ as Aikman’s future successor. ‘Troy so hyperbolic lol,’ one fan responded. ‘Hang them up Troy you are so washed,’ another even said.
