Ravens fan becomes an accidental TNF star with a hot mic soaked in profanity

The Baltimore Ravens looked uncharacteristically abysmal for the first 40 minutes of their Thursday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and this one fan became the face of that unpleasantness thanks to a hot mic.

For nearly three quarters, the Ravens offense just didn’t click, and their defense allowed the Bengals to go up 21-7 at the half, putting Baltimore in an unfamiliar position. And after a failed Ravens drive early in the third quarter that ended with boos from the fans, Amazon cameras and microphones caught a Baltimore fan clearly rooting for his team in a heated mic moment infused with blasphemy.

The moment amused Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit on the show, who couldn’t help but laugh at the fan’s complaints.
