Since there was no game to flex for Week 12, NBC was stuck with Pittsburgh-Kansas City for Sunday Night Football. I’m sure the Chiefs fans will make for an electric atmosphere at Arrowhead Stadium, but with a 4-6 record, tough to get excited for Sunday Night’s game between with the Steelers.
Usually, NBC will provide some quotes from their analysts on the upcoming SNF game. Not this week.
Here’s NBC’s preview.
THE CHIEFS HOST THE STEELERS IN THE FIRST EVER “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” GAME AT ARROWHEAD STADIUM
COVERAGE BEGINS WITH FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA AT 7 PM ET
NEW YORK – November 22, 2011 – The Pittsburgh Steelers, tied for first place in the AFC North, travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in the first ever Sunday Night Football game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Calling Steelers-Chiefs will be six-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 26th season as the voice of the NFL’s premier primetime package; 12-time Emmy Award-winner Collinsworth, who won the Emmy for outstanding event analyst in both of his seasons in the Sunday Night Football booth; and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, in her first season on SNF.
Coverage begins Sunday with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET with 22-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas hosting the program live from inside Arrowhead Stadium. Costas is joined on site by Michaels and Collinsworth for reaction to the afternoon games.
Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from Studio 8G at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios and is joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, Peter King of Sports Illustrated and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com. Alex Flanagan will report from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on the Patriots-Eagles game.
We’re done.
