Fox plays wrong game audio over Panthers, Falcons broadcast

sportsSep 20, 202620148

During Fox's broadcast of the Panthers vs Falcons game, viewers in some markets heard the wrong audio feed for several minutes, first carrying commentary from the Jets vs Packers game and later switching to the Vikings vs Bears audio. Social posts identified Fox Carolina as one local outlet carrying the incorrect feeds while the video showed Panthers-Falcons action. The on-screen game ended with Carolina beating Atlanta 34-3. Viewers reacted by calling the production error "Mickey Mouse," noting the mismatch of play-by-play and visuals, and some said the alternate audio oddly improved the telecast. Other posts flagged specific broadcasters, naming Tim Brando on the Panthers-Falcons call as drawing criticism for repetitive lines such as "don't beat yourself." Fox switched back to the correct audio after the interruption, and the misfeed briefly overshadowed in-game developments including a 55-yard play to Xavier Legette and a Darren Waller touchdown reception that extended Carolina's lead.

My laptop died — like, permanently — with 1:34 left in Panthers-Falcons and I think it just could not take another second of the Atlanta Falcons

For some reason the Panthers-Falcons game is playing the Jets-Packers audio, and it makes both games better

Thank you for posting this. I started wondering if it was just my TV. Or that I was hearing voices. Again.

To call a Panthers-Falcons game and to repeatedly say "don't beat yourself" shows a lack of understanding of who these teams are

Panthers had a long way to go and the Falcons let them do it. 55 yarder to Xavier Legette and then Young finds Darren Waller for a touchdown to make it 20-3 This one's over, though Atlanta can at least try to make it interesting

Falcons have a promotion where fans get a free slice of gas station pizza with a field goal miss. Ryan Fitzgerald taunts their hunger by hitting a 37-yarder. Panthers 10-0.
