Every Sunday night, NFL fans fully expect to see Mike Tirico on call alongside Cris Collinsworth. They have called NBC’s Sunday Night Football together since 2022, after Tirico officially took over the full-time play-by-play role.

Prior to becoming the permanent Sunday night duo, they had called a number of games together, starting in 2016, when Tirico first joined NBC Sports.

So when they are apart, it just doesn’t feel right. Moreover, that will be the case on Sunday as Tirico will not be well enough to call the game.

NBC legend Mike Tirico will miss tonight’s Sunday Night Football broadcast between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears. Unfortunately, it is due to an undisclosed health issue.

Tirico took to social media on Sunday to announce that he would miss the game due to a health issue. He did not state what the exact issue is.

Fans were quick to send their prayers to the broadcast legend.

“Damn, keep bro in your prayers,” one person said.

“Get better soon Mike!” another commented.

NBC Sports announced the abrupt lineup change ahead of the Week 9 primetime game at Soldier Field. Consequently, Noah Eagle will step into the booth as the play-by-play replacement. He will work alongside game analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Melissa Stark.

Eagle was already in the area because he was on the call Saturday night when Notre Dame upset top-ranked Miami in South Bend, Indiana.

This will be the first time Tirico has missed a Sunday Night Football assignment.
