00:00Fed up, Troy Aikman says NFL product is unwatchable right now during ugly Bengals-Broncos game.
00:07The NFL had an ugly night on Monday, as its pair of Monday night football games between the Jets-Dolphins and Bengals-Broncos were marred by penalties.
00:16The penalties were so omnipresent in the Bengals vs. Broncos game, in fact, that announcer and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman called the broadcast unwatchable.
00:26During the third quarter of the primetime game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos,
00:31Troy Aikman sounded off after a penalty flag was thrown for a blindside block on a Broncos offensive lineman saying that while it was a technically good call, it was also an unnecessary one.
00:42According to Aikman, nothing brings an NFL broadcast to a screeching halt like a parade of penalty flags,
00:48which is an assessment that longtime on-air partner Joe Buck vehemently agreed with.
00:53The amount of penalties the NFL is seeing is also being exacerbated by a general decrease in passing output,
00:59with many NFL fans and analysts believing the quality of quarterback play in the NFL has fallen off a cliff in the last decade.
01:06Luckily for Aikman and NFL fans across the globe,
01:09next week's Monday night football game should be a bit more palatable as the Kansas City Chiefs will be traveling to Jacksonville
01:16to take on the 3-1 Jaguars, one of the early surprises of the 2025 NFL season.
