If there was one play that determined the outcome of the Buffalo Bills’ 17-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs on Saturday, it was cornerback Taron Johnson getting an 101-yard pick-six on quarterback Lamar Jackson.
In fact, Josh Allen called it “potentially a franchise-altering play.”
The Spanish broadcaster for the game seemed to understand just that. He went nuts, with (in my opinion) the proper level of enthusiasm for the game-changing play. The man knew how to set the stakes (by screaming a lot).
Thanks to media consultant Timothy Burke, we got a side-by-side comparison between the Spanish, Russian and English broadcasters for the pick-six. The man doing the Russian play-by-play was less enthused. The English, with NBC’s Al Michaels, broadcast landed in the middle.
Here’s a look.

The Spanish broadcast is deeply enjoyable.
