Eagle Takes Over for Tirico

Mike Tirico is missing the Sunday night broadcast. He says a health issue is the reason. Noah Eagle, another Syracuse alum, will step in for him.

Tirico has been the main voice of Sunday Night Football since 2022. He replaced Al Michaels in that role. Before that he spent ten years calling Monday Night Football for ESPN. All together he has worked on prime time NFL broadcasts for nineteen years. He also does play‑by‑play for the NBA on NBC.

Eagle leads NBC's college football coverage. He called the Notre Dame versus Miami game on Saturday night. He also handled the Week 1 NFL game between the Rams and the 49ers that streamed on Netflix. Like Tirico, he works on NBA broadcasts for NBC.

Alongside Eagle, Cris Collinsworth will provide color commentary and Melissa Stark will report from the sideline. Tirico said he looks forward to watching the game and plans to return next week in Cincinnati. The contest would have been his three hundredth national NFL broadcast.
