Fox’s broadcast of the Carolina Panthers’ 27–3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons briefly carried audio from other NFL games, according to Yahoo Sports.

The mix-up occurred during coverage of the Panthers-Falcons game and reportedly included audio from a New York Jets scoring drive, despite the Jets not being involved in the match.

The unrelated commentary was heard while Atlanta quarterback Cooper Rush was on screen, creating a mismatch between the action and the broadcast audio.

Fox later corrected the error. The available account does not establish how long the mix-up lasted or how many other games were involved.

The report was originally published by For The Win, a Yahoo Sports publication. No independent confirmation of the incident is included in the source material.
