Where Is Mike Tirico? Why NBC Broadcaster Won’t Be on Bears-Bucaneers ‘Sunday Night Football’
NBC says Noah Eagle will handle play-by-play as Mike Tirico misses his 300th NFL game because of a health issue.
- Noah Eagle will replace lead announcer Mike Tirico for NBC's "Sunday Night Football" broadcast between the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Soldier Field on Sunday.
- Mike Tirico announced that a health issue will prevent him from calling the game, marking an unexpected absence from the broadcast booth. "Unfortunately, I will have to miss tonight's game in Chicago due to a health issue," Tirico said.
- Tonight's contest would have marked Tirico's 300th NFL game called; instead, Eagle will join color analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Melissa Stark for the Week 9 matchup.
- Eagle arrives in Chicago less than 24 hours after calling the Notre Dame-Miami game, bringing experience covering NFL and NBA contests for NBC across multiple platforms.
- Tirico expects to return to the booth next week when the Bengals host the Pittsburgh Steelers during "Sunday Night Football" in Cincinnati.
