FOX NFL Sunday viewers were left concerned after Terry Bradshaw forgot which teams were playing during the second half of the Week 1 clash between the Miami Dolphins and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Bradshaw, Curt Menefee, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Rob Gronkowski returned on Sunday as the NFL season got underway, and the popular football show delivered. Bradshaw, 78, made fun of his beloved co-host Long and left him red-faced after saying he'd had a hair plug.
Fans also continued to debate whether Bradshaw was too old for his role, but he remains a favorite on the FOX Sports panel. However, he had a senior moment during the Dolphins-Raiders game to kick off Week 1.
The Raiders made an excellent start to the 2026 season, defeating the Dolphins 27-13 in the home opener even without tight end Brock Bowers. Running back Ashton Jeanty was the star of the show, though he showed a new side to his game.
Jeanty starred in college for Boise State, setting its single-season rushing record with 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns during a historic 2024 campaign. Many questioned if Jeanty could deliver those numbers in the NFL, but he enjoyed a thrilling rookie season.
The Raiders may have had a miserable 2025 season, but Jeanty set the single-season franchise record for most scrimmage yards by a rookie with 1,321 yards. He narrowly surpassed Josh Jacobs' previous mark of 1,316.
On Sunday, he rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries, but scored two receiving touchdowns and led the team with 45 yards. Without Bowers, Jeanty was the main outlet for new quarterback Kirk Cousins,

Before Jeanty's touchdown at 9:58 in the third quarter, the broadcast showed both Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley and Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak. Bradshaw went to comment on the coaches, but lost his way.
"Two new head coaches, Jeff Hafley on the left of the Miami Dolphins. Clint Kubiak of... of the...," Bradshaw said, before host Menefee interjected. "Of the Raiders," he said.
Although Menefee finished off the comment for Bradshaw, the moment and his continuous struggles during the highlight segment didn't go unnoticed, and fans responded on social media. One fan wrote on X, "Is Terry Bradshaw okay?"

"Omg Terry Bradshaw needs to retire… it’s sad…," another claimed. "Terry Bradshaw sounds like he's stroking out live on TV during these end of game highlights right now on Fox. Needs to retire," another brutally added.
"Is Terry Bradshaw ok? He’s sounding a lil off doing the highlights," one user wrote. "Is Terry Bradshaw being held against his will in the @NFLonFOX studios or has he just not left since last season?" Another joked.
Terry Bradshaw has been a co-host on Fox NFL Sunday since 1994 under a long-term contract estimated to pay around $2 million per year. His contract with Fox Sports is targeted to run through the 2028–2029 NFL season.
