Late in the first half of Sunday's NFL game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Buffalo Bills, broadcast analyst J.J. Watt and veteran play-by-play legend Jim Nantz attempted to demonstrate a "Peanut Punch" with Watt holding the football and Nantz executing the punch. However, according to Nantz, "That was so much harder than I thought you were going to go," as he revealed his wrist was broken.
This incident occurred during the broadcast, leading to a commercial break for the two-minute warning. Upon returning from the break, Nantz, now holding an ice pack on his wrist, jokingly noted, "Physical at times in that first half. Gonna be a few folks having to play hurt the last couple of quarters," including himself as a broadcasting legend playing hurt.
