The NFL season is almost over but Jason Witten is still pretty awful in the broadcast booth.
During tonight’s Monday Night Football game between the Panthers and the Saints, Witten made a baffling comment about Newton’s ability to “run after the catch”

The Internet had some thoughts on Witten’s remarks.

I’m pretty sure Jason Witten just said one of Cam Newton’s strengths is his ability to run after the catch. Oh. #MNF @awfulannouncing

A guy paid millions to tell me on my TV broadcast what is going on in this football game just said "one of the best things he does is run after catch" regarding QB Cam Newton. Good work @JasonWitten

Unfortunately for fans it seems like Witten is coming back to the broadcast booth next season.
