Tim Walz dropped a wide-open pass on NFL Sunday.
The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate livestreamed himself playing video games with Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in an appeal to younger male voters — only to be mocked after misusing a common football term.
Walz, a former defensive coordinator at Mankato West High School, tweeted afterward that the far-left Bronx and Queens rep “could run a mean pick 6” — referring to an interception returned for a touchdown — in the Madden video game series.
The post was later deleted, but not before conservatives jumped on the malapropism.
“This was a real deleted tweet from alleged football coach Tampon Tim. ‘Can run a mean pick 6’ Lmfao,” commentator Greg Price wrote on X.
“‘Run a mean pick 6,’ Are we sure Tim Walz has even watched a game of football, let alone coached a team?” another X user wrote.
“You don’t ‘run’ a Pick 6, it’s not a system of offense Tim ‘Swan Lake’ Walz is supposed to be a football coach?” another chimed in.
“I’m not sure Kamala ever worked at McDonald’s and now I’m unsure if Walz ever coached football,” a user said.
The official Trump campaign “war room” account also slammed Walz.
“Tampon Tim is such a dork. You’d think a so-called football coach would be aware that you don’t run a pick 6!” the account wrote.
During the stream — which other critics pointed out was taking place while most male voters were likely watching actual NFL games — Walz spoke about the importance of “coming up with a plan” in both football and politics.
During the stream, Walz wore a camo Minnesota Vikings hat and reminisced about his fondness for the Crazy Taxi racing game.
“She wanted me to be a real person,” he said about his wife, Gwen, intervening to curb his habit.
