Washington Commanders team owner Josh Harris appeared on ESPN during the “Monday Night Football” telecast as his team took on the Baltimore Ravens.
As the Commanders defeated the Ravens in the closing minutes of the game to end Baltimore’s impressive preseason winning streak, Harris was ridiculed on social media over his interaction with ESPN broadcaster Joe Buck.

Harris was standing between Buck and Troy Aikman while Buck was talking and gesturing with his hands. Harris appeared to think Buck wanted a handshake and went for it before realizing that wasn’t the case and pulled back. Aikman tried to hold back the laughter.
The moment wasn’t lost among fans on X, the company formerly known as Twitter.

Commanders quarterback Sam Howell was 19 of 28 for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Jake Fromm was 10 of 16 for 91 yards and a touchdown.
“It’s really not a real game, but, at the same time, whatever team you’re on, you want to win,” Howell said. “Especially knowing what they had on the other side with their little streak.”
