The “Sunday Night Football” booth looked a little different when the Chargers hosted the Ravens this past weekend.
Jason Garrett did the unthinkable and actually had fans begging for Cris Collinsworth to return to the booth after Garrett filled in for the longtime NBC analyst during the Ravens’ 20-10 win over the Chargers on “Sunday Night Football.”
Garrett, who joined NBC as a studio analyst in 2022 after 10 years as head coach of the Cowboys, got completely roasted online for his lackluster job on the call alongside play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico.
The former Dallas Cowboys head coach was alongside Mike Tirico for the call because Collinsworth got the holiday weekend off after working Thursday’s 49ers-Seahawks game.
Many watching the broadcast could feel Collinsworth’s absence and were critical of Garrett’s performance in primetime.

Last year, Collinsworth was off for the primetime game between the Vikings and the Patriots on Thanksgiving Day — and Tirico called that matchup alongside Garrett and Tony Dungy.
Garrett, who was fired as Giants offensive coordinator, worked USFL games for NBC before he joined the “Sunday Night Football in America” show as a studio analyst in 2022.
Collinsworth is set to return to the booth when the Packers host the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” on Dec. 3rd.
