FOX's Erin Andrews was on the sideline reporting before the Super Bowl and there were some "injury" graphics that were not quite up to code. The first two guys on the list for the Falcons were simple enough with Julio Jones' turf toe and Alex Mack's fractured fibula, but the third one seemed suspicious.

FOX naturally took some heat for that one and the trolling was superb.

Fox just listed Matt Ryan's "Super Bowl Nerves" along with the Julio Jones and Alex Mack injuries 🤔

@AtlantaFalcons is a sack a side effect of the illness known as "Superbowl nerves"?

Yeah, FOX was not going to live that one down. That's for sure.
