Tiffany Haddish had a bit of an ‘Adele Dazeem’ moment at the 2026 NFL Honors. Or at least a Liam Coen ‘Duval’ moment.
It came when Haddish was announcing the NFL’s Coach of the Year Award for the 2025 NFL season. New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel ended up beating his counterparts to take home the award.
Haddish, however, pronounced Vrabel’s last name like the word ‘verbal’ several times as she announced his victory.
Below is a clip of the comedian’s gaffe:
Unfortunately, Vrabel was not in attendance for the event, as he and the Patriots are preparing to play in Super Bowl 60. As such, it will remain a mystery whether Vrabel would have tried to crack a joke about Haddish’s minor mispronunciation during his acceptance speech.
Vrabel has now won the NFL’s Coach of the Year Award twice. His first victory came following the 2021 season, when he guided the Ryan Tannehill-led Tennessee Titans to the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
Now, Vrabel – not verbal – will look to cap off his second Coach of the Year campaign with a Super Bowl victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
