Fox Sports activities speaking head Colin Cowherd simply picked the Seattle Seahawks to win the NFC West, which is alright I assume. He truly win that complete section with out some ridiculous gaffe or showcasing an embarrassing lack of know-how.
That streak was short-lived.
Cowherd heaped extra reward on the “too younger” Seahawks, saying they’ve the power to win the division and a number of playoff video games. Then he mentioned he doesn’t suppose Geno Smith will maintain up the AFC Championship trophy over Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow. Technically talking, that is true.
That is an sincere mistake by Cowherd. The Seahawks moved over to the NFC solely 21 years in the past, so it’s nonetheless recent within the minds of everybody who watches soccer. It’s laborious to win the AFC if you’re not within the convention anymore.
All of us make slip-ups on occasion, and normally I wouldn’t give Cowherd an excessive amount of air time, however when he goofs he actually goofs. You could keep in mind final 12 months when he forgot Rashaad Penny was already out for the season throughout his Seahawks-Chargers prediction. In newer occasions, Cowherd mentioned that Dwayne Haskins was not a quarterback who may win a Tremendous Bowl, greater than a 12 months after Haskins’ dying.
Anyway we’re hope he’s proper that the Seahawks do win the NFC West. I can assure you that neither Patrick Mahomes nor Joe Burrow will probably be lifting the NFC trophy this season.
