Witten roasted for saying Rodgers pulled 'another rabbit out of his head'
Jason Witten's transition to the broadcast booth hasn't been nearly as smooth as his former Dallas Cowboys teammate Tony Romo.
In his first few weeks as a color commentator for ESPN, Witten has been called out by Danny Trevathan for mispronouncing the Chicago Bears linebacker's last name and criticized for referring to the stricter rules against roughing the passer as "left wing."
He was roasted by Twitter - and himself - again Monday night after saying that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers pulled "another rabbit out of his head" on his game-tying touchdown.
According to Jason Witten, Aaron Rodgers pulled a rabbit out of his head, which would be REALLY magical #SFvsGB pic.twitter.com/ld5iH1ny3D

"He pulls another rabbit out of his head"? The word you're looking for is "hat," not "head." Magicians don't pull rabbits out of their heads. That would be a hell of a trick though.
