The highly-anticipated Monday Night Football matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams lived up to the amazing hype and then some. The Rams' 54-51 victory was the third highest scoring game in NFL history and the first game where both teams scored 50 or more points, with young stars Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes displaying their talents in front of 77,000 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (and millions more at home).
But in what has become a trend this season, ESPN analyst and former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten was mocked and ridiculed throughout the game by sports reporters and media pundits for his over-enthusiastic and at times awkward analysis alongside veteran play-by-play announcer Joe Tessitore and fellow analyst Booger McFarland (who calls the game from an elevated cart on the sideline).
