The Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills will play on Sunday night in Week 9. The NBC “Sunday Night Football” broadcast crew of Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth and Melissa Stark will be on the call for the game.
This will be the first time this crew is on the call for a Bengals game since they played the Baltimore Ravens on Jan. 15, beating them 24-17 in the Wild Card round.
That game was when Sam Hubbard recovered a fumble from Tyler Huntley and ran it back 98 yards to the end zone for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to break the tie.
Hubbard told Bengals.com in the spring that he heard the call and he was a fan.
“I’ve heard it 100 times. I love it,” Hubbard said. “Fantastic. Great job by him being aware and ready for the moment by his research. (The production crew) talked to Doug about my Moeller history and I guess that’s where ‘The Cincinnati Kid,’ came from.”
Tirico and Collinsworth were also on the call for the Bengals 2021 Wild Card game win over the Raiders. Cincinnati has had success in the recent past with this crew on the call, and they have called some big moments, so it should be fun to hear them on a Bengals game again.
