During the Wild Card round pregame show, Jimmy Johnson showcased his flair for acting on Fox NFL Sunday, much to the delight of his cohosts. The legendary coach took a break from the gridiron to cut a promo for the new movie Love Hurts, and he certainly did not hold back!
Johnson’s enthusiasm was palpable as he declared, "I know a lot about winning in the playoffs, so here are my keys to victory." He then proceeded to share some motivational insights that resonated with the playoff spirit. "Don’t ever underestimate the underdogs. The playoffs are all about defying the odds, and that’s what a great underdog does," he emphasized, capturing the essence of postseason football.
The former coach didn’t stop there. He added, "Sacrifice, it’s the postseason, you’ve got to go beast mode! You gotta love the game so much it hurts." This passionate delivery was not just entertaining; it was a reminder of the dedication required in the NFL playoffs.
After Johnson’s spirited promo, actor Ke Huy Quan joined him to continue the fun. "You wanted keys? You’ve got Ke," he quipped, adding a light-hearted twist to the segment. Johnson, always the competitor, playfully challenged Quan, asking, "Can you throw?" To which Quan confidently replied, "I can throw, I can kick, I can do it all coach!" This exchange brought laughter to the set, showcasing the camaraderie that makes Fox NFL Sunday so enjoyable.
The members of the Fox NFL Sunday crew were quick to praise Johnson’s acting chops. Curt Menefee chimed in, "Hey look at our guy Jimmy Johnson, an action star now!" The playful banter continued, with Johnson humorously predicting, "I see an Oscar coming!" His light-heartedness and willingness to step outside his comfort zone made for a memorable segment.
Johnson’s acting debut was just one highlight in a lively episode of Fox NFL Sunday. The show kicked off with Nazareth’s classic 1970s hit "Love Hurts" playing in the background, setting the tone for the festivities. As the show opened, Terry Bradshaw decided to showcase his own moves, dancing along to the music.
When Menefee caught sight of Bradshaw’s antics, he couldn’t help but tease, "If only you could see you." Bradshaw, always the good sport, responded, "I was just into it, I like that song, it’s a great song." His infectious energy had Michael Strahan and Rob Gronkowski in stitches, proving that the fun on Fox NFL Sunday goes beyond just football analysis.
As the playoffs heat up, Johnson’s segment serves as a reminder of the passion and excitement that defines the NFL postseason. Fans are treated not only to expert insights but also to moments of joy and laughter that make the viewing experience all the more enjoyable.
