Troy Aikman responds to Bears fans amid criticism of Caleb Williams image

Everyone has heard about the situation regarding Troy Aikman and Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears. 

Aikman and Williams seem to have a little animosity between each other, and it's probably unfair for both sides. 

However, some also weren't happy with what Aikman had to say during the Week 6 broadcast in the Bears' win against the Washington Commanders. 

Many thought that Aikman was unfairly calling out Williams for things that weren't problems, or putting too much blame on him, and it was apparently due to Williams not speaking with Aikman before the game. 

However, Aikman went back on that situation, and stated in an interview with Front Office Sports that he didn't believe he did anything wrong.

“I walked out of that game feeling like ‘OK, it was a game that came down to the wire.’ It’s fun, whatever. On Tuesday evening, I had dinner and I got home and I was just kind of looking at my Instagram, and all of a sudden Ben Johnson comes up and it’s got Troy Aikman written on there. And I’m like, ‘What is this?’ First time I heard about it. So I don’t know exactly where that came from. 

"I didn’t go back and watch the broadcast, but I would challenge anyone to go watch it and tell me that any analysis that I gave was unfair. I mean, they may disagree if I thought that was maybe not great ball placement, and they thought it was. OK, but I’m not sure where it came from,” the NFL legend said.

Why Aikman might be right

From Aikman's perspective, it might not have been anything that he even noticed. 

In his fairness, he's calling the game, and what he sees fit is what he sees fit. 

Some fans may not agree with everything he has to say, and some of his comments might’ve been unfair, but he has a job to do, and he feels like he did it the right way.
