TERRY Bradshaw left his cohosts confused with an attempted accent during Week 4’s episode of Fox NFL Sunday.
Bradshaw did his usual rundowns of the day’s action on Sunday but added an odd twist during his segment for the Carolina Panthers.

Bradshaw started his analysis of the Panthers’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals but added an odd voice to his coverage.
Instead of speaking normally, Bradshaw used a “Carolina accent” to explain what was going on in the game.
“Well that’s the question everybody’s asking right now,” Bradshaw said with his accent.
“Down in Carolina, Andy Dalton will be facing his former team, the Bengals.
“And I don’t think anyone predicted what he did last week, 300 yards and three touchdown passes.”
Howie Long butted in to ask Bradshaw if he was trying to sound like Colonel Sanders.
Michael Strahan also had some fun, saying Bradshaw sounded like Rosco P. Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazard.
NFL fans weren’t convinced by Bradshaw’s attempt at the accent either and shared their laughs on social media.
“C’mon Terry, the people of North Carolina have suffered enough this week,” one fan said.
“Don’t ever retire Terry! You’re the reason I watch,” another fan said.
“Terry Bradshaw Sounded like Forrest Gump- I’ve lived in NC for 25 years- I’ve never heard anyone sound like that,” a third fan said.
“What was he doing?” a fourth fan said.
“Terry we love you you’re the best keep it going,” a fifth fan said.
The Panthers went on to lose their game on Sunday, perhaps cursed by Bradshaw’s jokes.
They fell to the Bengals 34-22 and their record on the season dropped to 1-3.
London calling
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings will kick off the NFL’s annual run of London fixtures this weekend.
New York and Minnesota will clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday October 6 at 2.30pm local time – 9.30am ET for fans back home in America.
It will be the first of three straight NFL Sundays that begin with an early game live from London.
The following week, Tottenham also plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
And on October 20, the Jags will head across town to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots.
Quarterback Andy Dalton passed for 220 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, but he got no help from his defense.
The Bengals got their first win of the season in the contest, a much-needed win after starting 0-3.
“We knew we had to come and get one,” Burrow said.
“There was really no other option than to figure out how to win this game.
“And we got it done.”
