ESPN’s Chris Fowler is best known for his work alongside Kirk Herbstreit on the network’s top college football games every week. Both broadcasters have added some NFL work to their résumés, with Herbstreit calling Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video with Al Michaels, and Fowler taking the occasional extra ESPN assignments not taken by Joe Buck.
Football fans have largely gotten used to hearing Herbstreit every Thursday night. Hearing Fowler call pro football is still a relatively rare experience, however, and it’s jarring for many fans—especially college football diehards.
Fowler is calling Saturday’s sloppy Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers AFC North tilt on ESPN, and hearing his voice in the booth alongside Dan Orlovsky and Lance Riddick has been a unique experience.
