What is the story about?

Ouch. With one punch, CBS legend Jim Nantz went viral as he called the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders game with J.J. Watt.

The two were talking about the Charles Tillman move known as the "Peanut Punch"

-- using a punch to dislodge a football from an opponent's hands. Watt went on camera to explain the way to prevent the Peanut Punch by locking the ball in with three points of pressure AND the use of the other hand.

Watt asked Nantz to punch the ball as hard as he could, and you could see Nantz was in some pain: "My wrist is broken," he said, hopefully in jest.

But we could see Nantz holding some ice later in the broadcast, and you get why:
