Colin Cowherd Ripped By NFL Fans For Saying Geno Smith and the Seahawks Won’t Win AFC Title

Yikes.

Colin Cowherd made an embarrassing gaffe during a segment discussing the Seattle Seahawks’ postseason hopes in 2023 Tuesday.

Cowherd was attempting to make the case that, despite having an elite coach in Pete Carroll and good young players, he couldn’t picture Geno Smith beating the likes of Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes en route to an AFC Championship. The only problem: The Seahawks play in the NFC, not the AFC.

“They’re too young in my opinion to win a Super Bowl, but I do think can win a division and multiple playoff games. I don’t see Geno [Smith] holding up the AFC Championship Game trophy over a Mahomes or a Burrow,” Cowherd said.

Naturally, the internet had a field day with the mistake. It has been a rough month for Cowherd, who drew the ire of fans earlier this month for listing the late Dwayne Haskins on a list of current QBs he didn’t believe could win a Super Bowl.

Yikes.
