Originally Published 2 years ago — by ESPN

NBC has reportedly passed on veteran play-by-play announcer Al Michaels for its No. 2 NFL playoff broadcast crew, opting to use Noah Eagle, 26, instead. Michaels, who has been the voice of prime-time NFL coverage since 1986, reportedly earns $1 million per game in an agreement with Amazon. NBC's playoff broadcasts will be called by Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, with Noah Eagle joining the college football broadcast team of Todd Blackledge and sideline reporter Kathryn Tappen for the fourth game.
