The Vikings got smashed by the Eagles 28-22, but the real fireworks weren’t on the field — they were in the broadcast booth, where Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit capitalized on the glorious opportunity to roast Carson Wentz.
Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit never let the opportunity of trashing Carson slide.
Wentz finished the night with just 15 completions for 144 yards, a touchdown and one interception while taking five sacks, per ESPN.
Let’s just say that Michaels and Herbstreit, calling the game for Amazon Prime Video, were so disgusted with Wentz’s performance that they couldn’t hold back in criticizing him on live TV.
At the end of the first half, Wentz was seen exchanging words and smiling with quarterbacks coach Josh McCown, leading to a savage shot from Michaels.
“Kinda weird to be smiling on the way to the locker room,” Michaels said.
Late in the fourth quarter, Amazon cameras caught a frustrated and dejected Wentz expressing his frustrations on the sideline. Herbstreit suggested that the veteran quarterback should have kept his emotions to himself.
“When you’re the captain of the ship, you’re the quarterback, you gotta try to hold some of that emotion in. And I know he’s frustrated, and he’s hurt, but it’s Week 7. There’s a long way to go.”
So yes, Wentz messed up and the NBC commentary team didn’t spare his as*!
