"As we sat down for our halftime hit (only time you really see our pants) I noticed this issue on the monitor."
"I am not sure exactly when it happened, but I have narrowed it down to most likely happening when I pulled a sudden movement to avoid hitting my head on a low hanging pipe in the booth (this particular booth had a very low ceiling)."
"Of course we go live on air and instead of holding the football still, I immediately start talking with my hands, exposing the pants."
"I appreciate the kind words about the game, that really does mean a lot to me, and I'm glad that we will never be too old to have a good laugh about some split pants."
J.J. Watt, in his first season as a CBS NFL announcer alongside Ian Eagle, earned positive notice for balancing banter and insight while wearing retro looks. During the Week 3 Patriots-Steelers broadcast he experienced a wardrobe malfunction when his pants split. He noticed the issue on the monitor at halftime and traced the likely cause to a sudden movement to avoid a low-hanging pipe in the booth. A football was handed to him to help cover the tear, but gesturing while talking exposed the rip. He treated the moment lightly, thanked fans for kind words, and called it a good laugh.
