NFL fans were highly critical of Jason Garrett’s Sunday Night Football broadcast stint

Sunday Night Football sounded a bit different than what fans were used to. Instead of the duo of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, the latter was replaced by Jason Garrett for Sunday’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers.

According to NBC’s broadcast, Collinsworth was enjoying the remainder of the Thanksgiving holiday with his family. A reasonable excuse to miss Sunday Night Football! So instead, football fans were treated to Garrett in Collinsworth’s stead.

Unfortunately for NFL fans, while Garrett started off the night fine, it’s clear the synergy between him and Tirico wasn’t always there.

While it’s hard to follow in the shoes of Collinsworth, NFL fans definitely weren’t happy with his replacement in the form of Garrett.
