NFL broadcast takes strange turn as Chris Collinsworth’s comment goes viral

NFL broadcaster Cris Collinsworth has gone viral after one of the strangest commentary moments you’ll ever hear.

Cris Collinsworth speaks onstage during the 34th Annual Great Sports Legends Dinner To Benefit The Buoniconti Fund To Cure Paralysis at The Hilton Midtown on October 07, 2019 in New York City.

Cris Collinsworth dropped something a bit more suggestive than a telestrator pen during this week’s instalment of “Sunday Night Football.”

One week after tossing a pen into the crowd during the Ravens’ 19-17 win over the Bengals in Baltimore, the longtime broadcaster, 63, offered up a curious comment Sunday when discussing Philadelphia guard Landon Dickerson during the NFC East showdown between the Eagles and Cowboys.

Collinsworth’s remarks didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter, which weighed in almost immediately.

“Umm, excuse me Cris Collinsworth?” one Twitter user wrote while another posted, “Cris Collinsworth really said this on national prime time TV.”

Former Browns tackle Joe Thomas also quipped, “If you had Cris Collinsworth saying ‘How about a taste of Landon Dickerson cumming right down your throat’ on your bingo card … you’re looking to cash in BIG tonight!!”

Although Collinworth’s commentary caught much of social media off guard, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni also had something of a hot-mic moment, when he dropped an F-bomb on the sidelines after a post-whistle scuffle.

With Sunday’s win over the Cowboys, 26-17, the Eagles, the team of Aussie superstar Jordan Mailata, improved to 6-0 on the season and remain the lone undefeated team in the league.

Collinsworth and the “Sunday Night Football” crew will travel to Miami next week for a prime time matchup between the Dolphins and Steelers.
