Why Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit are calling Chargers-Chiefs on Thursday Night Football

Al Michaels Kirk Herbstreit Football Thursday Night Football (Event)

Did you turn on Thursday’s Week 2 matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs on Amazon Prime — the streamer’s first Thursday Night Football game of the 2022 season and its first as the exclusive broadcaster — and suddenly wonder why you were hearing the voices of Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit?

We have an answer.

The last game Michaels called for NBC was back in February, which was Super Bowl 56. Since then, the legendary play-by-play man agreed to join Amazon.

Herbstreit is still with ESPN, but he agreed to do TNF games this year as Michaels’ new partner.

There’s your answer!
