The refrain has been common most of the season:<\/p>\n
NFL fans don’t think Al Michaels gets excited enough.<\/p>\n
The legendary play-by-play man, now with Amazon Prime Video, got to call a game-winning touchdown with less than two minutes to play on Christmas night when the Denver Broncos<\/a>‘ Bo Nix threw to RJ Harvey for a touchdown.<\/p>\n Michaels raised the volume slightly, but not much more.<\/p>\n The Broncos score to take the lead with 1:45 left and Al Michaels could not care less pic.twitter.com\/5pAo3sYbcg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bussin’ With The Boys (@BussinWTB) December 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0The Giants, the Raiders, the NFL Draft order and the Disgrace of Gijon<\/a><\/p>\n This is a tricky one on multiple levels.<\/p>\n For one, more is not always better when it comes to play-by-play calls. Some announcers are brilliant at sliding in, then sliding out to let the scene tell the story.<\/p>\n And of course, Michaels is a legend. The 81-year old has announced some of the greatest moments in sports history.<\/p>\n It’s also fair to expect that he’s lost some of his fastball. It’d be a surprise if he hadn’t.<\/p>\n There are a lot of takes like this on X:<\/p>\n Al Michaels is an absolute legend but it\u2019s time to hang it up. Guy is about 3 seconds behind every play and talks with the enthusiasm of a school librarian<\/p>\n \u2014 Film Watchers (@Filmwatchers1) December 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Given Michaels’ resume, it’ll surely be his call what he does after this season. But many fans will be keeping an eye on it, for sure.<\/p>\n More NFL news:<\/p>\n
