“Thursday Night Football” analyst Kirk Herbstreit couldn’t help but take a vicious shot at New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett during tonight’s game against the New England Patriots.
Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels are on the call for tonight’s AFC East showdown at MetLife Stadium. This game marked Aaron Rodgers’ first home game with the Jets since Week 1 of the 2023 season, when he suffered a season-ending Achilles tear minutes into his New York debut against the Buffalo Bills.
During the first quarter of tonight’s game, Herbstreit put Hackett in a body bag by implying that Rodgers is simply making the offensive coordinator look better than he is as a play-caller:
“It’s amazing how Nathaniel Hackett all of a sudden looks like he knows how to call plays when he has No. 8 (Rodgers) back there,” Kirk Herbstreit said.
