ESPN broadcaster Booger McFarland was the subject of mockery Saturday night as the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans played in their wild-card playoff game.
McFarland, a two-time Super Bowl-winning former NFL defensive tackle, became the butt of jokes when he appeared to suggest the Bills should run a draw play on 3rd down then spike the ball on 4th down with only seconds left in regulation.
DESHAUN WATSON'S SUPERHUMAN EFFORT LIFTS TEXANS INTO NEXT ROUND OF AFC PLAYOFFS
“I’ll tell ya what, if I’m [Bills coach] Sean McDermott at this point, you almost just run a quick draw play, get a few yards, spike it,” McFarland said.
The Bills were down three points at this stage of the game and a spike on 4th down would have been a catastrophic end to the game.
Luckily, the Bills didn’t listen to McFarland. Buffalo decided to kick and make a 47-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka which tied the game and sent it into overtime.
McFarland was mocked on Twitter.
Houston ended up winning the game thanks to a huge play from quarterback Deshaun Watson which led to a game-winning field goal.
