NFL fans are up in arms once again, demanding Terry Bradshaw's resignation following another on-air blunder by the Fox Sports commentator.

During Sunday's broadcast, Bradshaw was charged with narrating a sequence of highlights from Week Seven's early games. However, the veteran sportscaster got his wires crossed, erroneously starting to talk about Cleveland Browns' Nick Chubb's comeback while footage from the Buffalo Bills-Tennessee Titans clash played out.

"Nick Chubb is back from his knee injury suffered in week two of last year but it's Deshaun - whoops, wrong one," Bradshaw blurted out as Bills quarterback Josh Allen found his receiver for a 12-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter.

The slip-up was quickly rectified by Curt Menefee, who interjected: "This is Amari Cooper for Buffalo getting the touchdown. His Bills debut, Buffalo rolling past Tennessee 34-10 the final there."

The gaffe comes amidst a series of awkward moments for Bradshaw, including his take on Russell Wilson which has not aged well after he offered a theory on Sean Payton and a confusing appearance by Tom Brady on the network.

Menefee then tried to steer Bradshaw back on track, setting him up for the commentary on the Browns-Bengals game: "Now Cincinnati at Cleveland. There's Nick Chubb bouncing [back] from that knee injury last year..."

During a chaotic segment, Bradshaw barely managed to comment on Chubb's return before the footage switched to a grim scene. "There's Chubb coming inside," he remarked, just as Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered a devastating Achilles injury.

Menefee cut in with an update: "And that's a bad one, Deshaun Watson. Browns say Achilles injury," highlighting the severity of Watson's condition. "You can see that right Achilles looking to snap right there. He is done and Joe Burrow comes in, hooks up with Ja'Marr Chase. He's already in. Cincinnati wins it 21-14, actually just over a minute left in that ballgame."

In a later attempt to redeem the segment, Bradshaw covered the London game featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars against the New England Patriots. "Trevor Lawrence trying to get two in a row. That is for Jacksonville as they stayed over that week," he observed, praising Lawrence's performance and Brian Thomas's catch.

"There he is back looking good pass protection, firing down the middle of the football field looking for Brian Thomas. That is a perfectly thrown ball. Great concentration by Thomas. 58-yard gain."

However, Bradshaw stumbled once more while commenting on Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby's touchdown. "Then Tank Br- Bigsby takes it in from one yard out. Jacksonville now with two victories on the year, 32-16 over New England," he concluded, wrapping up the segment.

Social media erupted with critiques about Bradshaw's latest on-air mishaps, calling for the sports star to consider retirement. Comments from viewers made it clear.

One social media user said: "Amazing they haven't pushed these fossils into retirement years ago. Who's tuning in for Bradshaw," and another chimed in: "He should retire from the gig. You're my fav Steelers QB, but it's time to turn off the mic."
