FANS AT LAMBEAU FIELD SCREAM “JOE BUCK SUCKS” & “AIKMAN SUCKS” DURING AVONTE MADDOX’S INJURY 

With less than a minute to play in the Eagles-Packers Thursday night matchup, Eagles safety Avonte Maddox ended up taking a brutal hit from his own teammate Andrew Sendejo that would knock him to the ground where he would remain until he medical personnel removed him. While he was on the ground and the game was live, some fans in the background decided to make their feelings known by chanting “Joe Buck sucks” and “Aikman sucks.” Not exactly the best time for a chant-like that.
