Why Al Michaels is not calling Thursday’s Bills-Rams NFL season opener on NBC

Did you turn on Thursday night’s Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills game — the first regular-season contest of the 2022 NFL season!! — on NBC and suddenly wonder why you were hearing the voice of Mike Tirico and NOT that of Al Michaels?

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 for the streamer’s new Thursday Night Football package that will kick off in Week 2.

Cris Collinsworth is still with NBC and will be in the booth for Thursday’s game as well.

There’s your answer!
