Chicago Bears fans expressed their frustration with Troy Aikman during an ESPN broadcast after he supported an unnecessary roughness call involving Jalen Hurts. This occurred during the Bears' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, 27-7, on September 28, 2026. Viewers accused Aikman of bias, particularly after questioning Bears coach Ben Johnson's decision to go for it on fourth down instead of opting for a field goal.
