CBS Sports created a viral moment with JJ Watt and Ian Eagle on Sunday during the New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game. Watt is now the color analyst for CBS, and Ian Eagle is the play-by-play announcer. In the game, they panned to the two in the booth calling the game, and Watt looks like a giant in a suit next to a much smaller Eagle. The internet loved it.
