Jason Witten roasted for idiotic comment about Cam Newton, sparking memes

NFL: Pro Bowl-NFC vs AFC

Jason Witten was a great NFL tight end, but he’s an awful broadcaster, as Monday Night Football viewers have learned this season.

Witten rarely ever provides any solid analysis — more often than not, he’s just spouting off hot takes or statements that make very little sense, and it’s resulted in some fans just choosing to watch the games on mute.

Monday’s Saints-Panthers game was no different, as Witten spent half the game talking about guys that “need to make that play,” even on diving interception attempts and seemingly-uncatchable balls.

Not only that, he had a particularly stupid comment during the game, in which he lauded quarterback Cam Newton for being good “after the catch.” The problem is that he’s a quarterback, and he doesn’t throw the ball to himself, and Twitter had a field day with it.
