Announcer Drops F-Bomb Amidst Eagles Brutal Loss To Dolphins

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Eagles fans weren't the only ones cursing while watching the Dolphins storm down the field during Sunday's brutal loss in Miami.

Fox Sports announcer and former NFL star Ronde Barber was discussing Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's strength in animated fashion when he let loose a slip of the tongue.

The curse came more out of respect and intensity, not the frustration and fury that likely led many Birds fans to utter the same word:

It happened during the third quarter, and just moments later, Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass. That pass drew the Dolphins within two points of the Eagles as the third quarter ended, but the Birds still led, 28-26.

The now 3-9, last place Dolphins rallied back, however, in part on the strength of Fitzpatrick's 365 passing yards and 27 of 39 pass completion rate. Miami ultimately won, 37-31.

It was easily the worst Eagles loss of the year, and their first loss to a team that had already cemented themselves as a non-contender (earlier season losses to teams like the Lions or Falcons came before either of them truly collapsed).

Amazingly, the Eagles remain only one game out of first place and a playoff spot, as the Cowboys lost again. Though the Eagles are now 5-7, the Cowboys are 6-6, and if the Eagles managed to win their final four games, they could still make it to the postseason. The odds, however, are increasingly not in their favor.
