Overview
- During the Steelers‑Saints game in Paris on Sunday, Hall of Famer Kurt Warner repeatedly referred to Pittsburgh running back Jaylen Warren as “Tyler,” the first name of Colts tight end Tyler Warren, and was corrected on air by his booth partners.
- Warner posted an apology on X the same day in which he acknowledged the mistake, said he had called a Colts game recently and that the name carried over, and wrote that he owned the error.
- Fans and viewers pushed back in replies and social posts, offering higher tallies of the slips than Warner suggested and criticizing his preparation for the broadcast.
- The misnaming drew attention because Jaylen Warren had a standout performance, rushing 18 times for 101 yards and catching three passes for 36 yards in the Steelers’ 16‑10 win, while Tyler Warren was not active for that game.
- The episode has renewed discussion about live‑broadcast accuracy, the effects of calling multiple games back‑to‑back, and what broadcasters owe players and viewers when on‑air mistakes occur.
