Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, and the Sunday Night Football broadcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NBC football production team, led by Mike Tirico, has had a hectic week handling two Week 12 games. However, for \u201cSunday Night Football,\u201d Tirico\u2019s usual broadcast partner, Cris Collinsworth, won\u2019t be joining him in the booth.<\/p>\n

As the Ravens square off against the Chargers in tonight\u2019s prime-time matchup at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, it will be Jason Garrett stepping in as the NBC analyst alongside Tirico instead of Collinsworth.<\/p>\n

Collinsworth recently worked alongside Tirico on Thanksgiving Day for NBC\u2019s coverage of the 49ers-Seahawks game, witnessing San Francisco\u2019s victory that secured their place at the top of the NFC West.<\/p>\n

In tonight\u2019s game, the AFC\u2019s leading team, the Ravens, with an 8-3 record, faces the 4-6 Chargers, who are struggling in the 2023 season and currently sit outside the playoff picture in the AFC West.<\/p>\n

However, the absence of Collinsworth in the booth for \u201cSunday Night Football\u201d is due to the Thanksgiving weekend. After his commentary during the Thanksgiving Day game between the 49ers and Seahawks, Collinsworth has chosen to spend the remainder of the weekend with his family.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Collinsworth has taken a break from one of NBC\u2019s Thanksgiving weekend games. Last year, he was also absent for the Thanksgiving matchup between the Vikings and the Patriots. On that occasion, Garrett and Tony Dungy stepped in as analysts alongside Tirico.<\/p>\n

Collinsworth will return to the booth next Sunday night in Green Bay for Week 13\u2019s game between the Packers and the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
