Jim Nantz hurts hand during J.J. Watt 'Peanut Punch' demo on CBS
Key Points:
- During CBS' broadcast of the Buffalo Bills-Las Vegas Raiders game, Jim Nantz participated in a demonstration with J.J. Watt about the "Peanut Punch" technique used to protect the football.
- Watt showed how players secure the ball by locking their wrist and invited Nantz to try knocking it loose, encouraging him to hit hard.
- Nantz's forceful attempt surprised Watt, and although the football stayed secure, Nantz immediately grabbed his wrist, joking that it was broken.
- Later in the broadcast, Nantz was seen holding an ice pack to his hand, but no serious injury was confirmed, suggesting his "broken" comment was made in jest.
