Cris Collinsworth has bittersweet memories of his Giants-49ers announcing faux pas

Cris Collinsworth was wrapping up his first playoff game as a member of Fox's lead NFL team, alongside Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, when he left Candlestick Park on Jan. 5, 2003, feeling good about himself.

"I walked out of there thinking, man, I was a brilliant broadcaster that day, and we nailed it," Collinsworth said, now that he can laugh about it.

It turned out he wasn't, but he was not alone on a long list of people who made mistakes in San Francisco that day during one of the strangest, most controversial games in NFL history.
