Joe Buck, Troy Aikman Had Perfect Call of Raiders’ Gaffe While Talking About Meatballs

The Detroit Lions rolled at home on Monday night, beating the Las Vegas Raiders, 26-14, to improve to 6-2 on the year.

It was another ugly game for Josh McDaniels’s team, which fell to 3-5 and has issues all over the place. Wide receiver Davante Adams was seen slamming his helmet on the sideline late in the loss and didn’t want to talk about it following the final whistle.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were on the call for ESPN, and the two had a really funny moment in the fourth quarter when Aikman’s love for meatballs was interrupted by a Raiders mistake on a kickoff. 

Buck handled this perfectly:

 Too good. Well, unless you’re a Raiders fan.
