STWF Sports | Nov. 25, 2025 – In a broadcast moment that quickly became social media fodder, Michael Strahan gently corrected FOX colleague Terry Bradshaw after the Hall of Fame quarterback stumbled over Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s name during Sunday’s NFL coverage. The exchange came as the FOX NFL Sunday crew broke down first-half highlights from Seattle’s 30–24 win over the Tennessee Titans — a game that featured yet another massive performance from the league’s newest receiving sensation.
As the panel rolled the clip of Smith-Njigba’s 63-yard second-quarter touchdown, Bradshaw referred to the Seahawks receiver as “Njigboo.” Strahan immediately stepped in, calmly clarifying, “Njigba.”
Bradshaw, refusing to concede the mistake, replied, “That’s what I said… something like that,” prompting Strahan to note that Bradshaw adds “a little boo at the end.”
“All right — a little ‘Njig-boo’,” Bradshaw joked, leaning into the moment.
The lighthearted slip, though, lit up social media within minutes. Some viewers argued the 77-year-old Bradshaw is beginning to show signs of decline on air — a narrative that has grown louder in recent weeks.
One fan wrote, “Terry Bradshaw either needs to retire or give up doing highlights because he keeps messing this up over and over.”
Another added, “Just say JSN.”
It comes on the heels of other headline-grabbing moments involving the FOX legend: an abrupt early exit last week due to illness, criticism after poking fun at colleague Tom Brady, and his now-infamous Andy Reid-pig story.
Bradshaw Addresses Retirement Timeline
Despite public chatter, Bradshaw has maintained he intends to finish his contract and exit on his own terms. At a FOX press event earlier this year, he was candid about when he’ll finally hang it up.
“I’ve got two years left at FOX. I’m 76… If we can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80,” Bradshaw said.
“I think that’s time — 80 years old — and that’s pushing it.”
For now, he remains a fixture on FOX NFL Sunday, even if his slip-ups continue to spark viral moments.
While the Booth Debated Names, JSN Made History
Lost in the broadcast banter was the performance that triggered it: another monstrous outing from Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is not only having a breakout season — he’s threatening to rewrite the NFL record book.
The 23-year-old torched Tennessee for 162 receiving yards, surpassing DK Metcalf’s single-season franchise record of 1,303 set in 2020. Smith-Njigba has reached that mark in just 11 games.
His production puts him on pace for a season never before seen in the NFL.
-
1,313 yards through 11 games
-
119.3 yards per game — highest in the league
-
On pace for 2,028 yards
If he maintains that pace, Smith-Njigba would shatter Calvin Johnson’s 1,964-yard record from 2012 and become the first 2,000-yard receiver in NFL history.
Seattle leaned on him heavily again Sunday, especially with Tennessee selling out to contain the run. His 63-yard catch-and-run — a route combination Seattle has leaned on increasingly — gave the Seahawks a 10-3 lead and set the tone for another explosive day.
Seattle Rising, Titans Reeling
The Seahawks’ win pushes them back into the NFC playoff conversation, buoyed largely by Smith-Njigba’s ascension from top prospect to genuine superstar. Tennessee, meanwhile, falls deeper into the AFC basement as the search for offensive rhythm continues.
But for many viewers, the most memorable moment came not from the field, but from the studio — where a name mispronunciation once again put Terry Bradshaw in the spotlight.
And with JSN racking up record-breaking performances weekly, Strahan might be offering that correction a few more times before the season ends.
