FOX Sports was forced into a last-minute analyst swap ahead of Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders, after scheduled broadcaster Mark Sanchez was hospitalized following a brutal stabbing incident and his subsequent arrest in Indianapolis. The former New York Jets quarterback, who now works as an NFL analyst for FOX, was reportedly involved in what police described as a “physical disturbance” with another man. While Sanchez was initially treated at the hospital for grievous but non-life-threatening injuries, he was later taken into custody on battery charges by the police. With Sanchez out now, the network quickly turned to another former quarterback to fill the role – Brady Quinn, who has been a FOX Sports college football analyst since 2014.
