NEW ORLEANS — Chicago Bears return specialist Cordarrelle Patterson might have accidentally introduced an entire audience to a new word on Sunday. While the crew chief of the Wild Card Round clash between the Bears and the New Orleans Saints had his microphone on, Patterson dropped an F-bomb that was heard loud and clear.

The F-bomb made for an awkward moment on the Nickelodeon broadcast of the game at the Mercedez-Benz Superdome, as the commentators seemed unsure of how to respond to children's innocent ears being exposed to the king of all curse words. The 21-9 Saints win marked the first-ever broadcast of an NFL game on Nickelodeon, and the young fans watching it likely enjoyed the foul-mouthed incident more than the low-scoring matchup.
