Monday Night Football saw Troy Aikman draw criticism from Kansas City Chiefs fans after his assessment of a key play involving Travis Kelce. The play, which led to a touchdown for Mahomes, was analyzed by Aikman, who pointed out what appeared to be a hold by Kelce. Analyst Russell Yurk agreed with the call, explaining that Kelce's left arm restricted the defender and prevented him from making the tackle.
However, Chiefs fans saw Aikman's delivery as evidence of his frustration with Mahomes and the Chiefs, with some calling him "saltier than the Dead Sea." The criticism extended to Aikman's broader approach to calling games for the Chiefs, with some accusing him of jealousy towards Mahomes and refbaiting. The history between Aikman's NFL legacy and Mahomes' accomplishments also entered the conversation, with some calling for Aikman to root for the Broncos instead. Despite the criticism, Kansas City ultimately beat Denver 31-10.
