Monday night’s Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings game got so messy that ESPN broadcasters Troy Aikman felt bad about even pointing out a player dropping yet another pick-six on the season.
After Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson dropped a potential Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs pick that could’ve gone back for a score, Aikman recalled how Johnson had a similar missed opportunity against the Detroit Lions the week before.
As he openly wondered if he was being too harsh to even point out Johnson’s mistakes, Buck quipped that he should just do it because everyone will eventually forget about it at the end of the day.

Joe Buck: "He can't hear you now…he will just hear about it after and be mad and probably throw something online and then you'll hear about it for the rest of the week and then we'll all forget about it." pic.twitter.com/EEO7sdIxFr

While this recent Johnson misery might not match that time he lost a bet and had to wear a Packers cheesehead, having Aikman and Buck openly discuss if they’re being too harsh about pointing out your repeat mistakes has to burn.
As for Aikman and Buck, this was just a very funny way of just shrugging and just calling it as you see it because, we’ll all just forget about it later.
