The day of the week has changed, and so has the place to find him. But when Al Michaels is behind the microphone for an NFL broadcast, as he has been for 37 seasons, it always feels like a game of magnitude.
More than any play-by-play voice of his era and perhaps any other, Michaels’s voice is associated with sports’ biggest moments. He retains that gravitas, with his shift this season from NBC’s ratings juggernaut “Sunday Night Football” to Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football” broadcasts, the NFL’s first all-digital rights package and a work in progress.
Michaels will be on the call along with analyst Kirk Herbstreit for Thursday’s Patriots-Bills matchup on Amazon Prime.
