Fox's post-game highlights proved problematic for Terry Bradshaw

For Terry Bradshaw, trying to pick out the highlights of Week 7's first week proved difficult.

So much so that Curt Menefee had to sub for the former longtime Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback when he overlaid the Buffalo Bills-Tennessee Titans highlights.

Maybe he had the wrong copy in front of him, but what Bradshaw said didn't match what viewers at home were seeing.

It happened to be the following game that was shown before Fox's Game of the Week (Chiefs-49ers) began, but Bradshaw was talking about Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb when Fox showed Amari Cooper on the screen. Yes, Cooper had just been traded from the Browns to the Buffalo Bills, but it took Bradshaw about five or six seconds to realize he was talking about the wrong play.

“Oops, wrong,” Bradshaw said as Menefee came to the rescue.

When the Cincinnati Bengals' 21-14 victory over the Browns finally appeared on the screen, Chubb wasn't the topic – even if Bradshaw wanted to talk about him. As the home crowd watched Deshaun Watson suffer a non-contact injury feared to be a Achilles tendon injury (something Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski all but confirmed after the game), Bradshaw said, “In comes Chubb.”

However, Chubb was not on the screen during Watson's QB draw, the play on which he sustained the injury. Fox did show Chubb as an interlude to the game's highlights, but the veteran running back, returning from a knee injury in his first game, was nowhere to be seen in the highlights.

Bradshaw certainly tried, but again Menefee took over.

When Bradshaw passed the baton to talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars' 32-16 victory over the New England Patriots across the pond, he mentioned that Trevor Lawrence and Co. were trying to get their second win in a row . While they won on Sunday, the Jaguars lost 35-16 to the Chicago Bears a week earlier.

This isn't the first time Bradshaw has struggled to reach post-game highlights, nor was it his first faux pas this season. Bradshaw, 76, credited “Rasheed Wallace” with throwing a touchdown earlier in the year and displaying a strange Southern accent that he lost because of Caleb Williams' painted fingernails, and suggested that the Browns might have the old one Yeller Watson should be addressed.

Now, Boomer Esiason, among others, has previously mentioned that Bradshaw stumbles through highlights, but these recent mistakes are becoming more common and harder to miss.
