Joe Davis is a Fox Sports play by play announcer known for baseball and NFL coverage, and Jalen Hurts is the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback whose name opens this call. The short sequence of verbs became easy to lift from broadcasts because it tells a complete play without needing context. Shared on soundboards and in meme edits, it now travels far beyond live football, reused whenever a promising build up ends with a simple drop or mistake that everyone saw coming at the last second.
