Former NFL star and current CBS analyst J.J. Watt criticized game officials for excessive delays during the Kansas City Chiefs' matchup against the Denver Broncos. Watt, who co-owns English club Burnley FC, voiced his frustration during the broadcast, saying the officials were "taking their time all day" as the game experienced multiple stoppages.
The Chiefs-Broncos contest, played in early November 2026, saw several lengthy reviews and administrative pauses that drew Watt's ire. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year has been vocal about pace-of-play issues since joining CBS's NFL coverage.
Watt appeared at a Burnley FC friendly against Real Salt Lake in Sandy, Utah, on July 15, 2026, as part of his ownership role with the Championship club.
