Analytics guys and football guys have been battling it out on social media and in debates at bars throughout the past couple of seasons, with both sides arguing their points at length. Barely ten minutes into Super Bowl LIV between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, half of the number one NFL announcing crew for Fox, Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, showed that he’s been studying up on his analytics regarding at least one point.
Former Field Gulls contributor Ben Baldwin noted the moment on Twitter.
Troy Aikman just said during the Super Bowl broadcast that you don't have to have a great run game to use play action.
