Shock and Awe on the Fox NFL Sunday Set
A routine pregame segment took a startling turn on Fox NFL Sunday, leaving viewers and co-hosts stunned after NFL legend Terry Bradshaw cried out in apparent pain. The 78-year-old Hall of Fame quarterback was tackled by Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer during a live demonstration, leading to a moment of genuine concern mixed with on-set antics.
Setting the Scene: A Play Goes Sideways
The incident unfolded during a Week 6 discussion about the impressive play of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones. To illustrate Jones’ throwing prowess, the Fox crew took to their virtual football field for a hands-on demonstration. Bradshaw, stepping into the role of the quarterback, took a snap from his longtime co-host Howie Long and faked a handoff to Curt Menefee.
Playing the part of a pass rusher, Jay Glazer broke through the line to “sack” the veteran quarterback. Bradshaw managed to get a pass off to a wide-open Michael Strahan, who celebrated the mock touchdown with a victory dance. However, the focus quickly shifted back to Bradshaw, who was still entangled with Glazer.
“Oh My God, Does That Hurt!”
As Glazer hugged him in the “tackle,” Bradshaw’s playful demeanor vanished. He suddenly yelled out, “Oh my god, does that hurt!” The exclamation cut through the usual studio banter, causing a moment of alarm. While Strahan continued his end-zone celebration, a grimacing Bradshaw tapped his helmet, a clear signal that he was done with the imaginary game.
Glazer, perhaps realizing the tackle was a bit too realistic, noted that Bradshaw had managed to throw the ball an impressive 15 yards downfield despite the pressure.
Fan Reactions Light Up Social Media
Viewers at home were quick to react to the intense moment. The clip of the tackle and Bradshaw’s pained reaction began circulating online, drawing a flood of comments from fans. While many found humor in the crew’s typical horseplay, others expressed genuine worry for the beloved icon.
- “Amazing,” one fan wrote simply.
- “Hahaha omg,” another commented, capturing the mix of shock and laughter.
- A third user summed up the segment: “Our guys play a little football on set and talk all things Indianapolis Colts!”
The Show Must Go On
Despite the jarring moment, the broadcast continued. The panel transitioned back to their analysis, with Strahan marveling at the physical gifts required to be an elite quarterback. Bradshaw also chimed in, highlighting how the player in question had overcome early-career struggles to find success. Nonetheless, the painful-looking tackle remained the segment’s most talked-about takeaway, proving that even a simulated play can feel all too real on live television.
