This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Football fans wondered if Troy Aikman decided to let loose before calling the Philadelphia Eagles-Los Angeles Chargers ‘Monday Night Football’ game at SoFi Stadium.
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck were in the booth for the highly anticipated clash between the two playoff contenders. In a wild game featuring eight turnovers, including a mind-numbing double-whammy mistake by Jalen Hurts, the Bolts emerged victorious 22-19 in overtime.
Once again, Aikman’s performance in the broadcast booth drew mixed reviews. Specifically, fans wondered if he was under the influence going while calling the game.
“Is it me or does Troy Aikman look and sound drunk on Monday Night Football!” one fan remarked.
