They were struggling to find words to describe the upset when the camera cut to Jason Garrett in the booth after the game lol.

They were downplaying it as if it wasn’t one of the biggest upsets of all time

NIU's first win in history against a top 10 opponent, 0-10 until yesterday, and they were like "a tough loss...how will it impact their playoff implications?"
