Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said Monday he was just as surprised as everybody else that his wife's name, Cindy Gruden, was used by quarterback Derek Carr to call an audible during Sunday's Week 1 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
The lack of fans in attendance at Bank of America Stadium, the Panthers' home field, because of the coronavirus pandemic allowed television viewers to hear clearly as Carr yelled out "Cindy Gruden! Tiger Woods!" before a play in the first quarter.
"Derek used my wife's name on TV in one of his audibles, so it must not have been too loud in there," Gruden jokingly told reporters.
