Beyond this Tirico call (where he wisely didn't distract by wondering if the ball had crossed the plane of the goal line), the announcing team really knew a lot about the Bengals. They did a detailed analysis of the offensive line, noted the importance of Chido's absence, address the elephant in the room in terms of being able to sign all these playmakers to future contracts, and really knew details about the Bengals players. I enjoyed the humor where after repeatedly saying the right side of the line was the weakness with two substitutes in those positions, after Williams went out, they laughed, "now the right side of the line is the strong point."
Overall, nice to have an announcing crew that understands details about the Bengals.
I know people don't like to see it. But Collinsworth is a fan of the Bengals. He just can't show it being a national broadcaster. I'm pretty sure I've seen him mention in an interview before that he watches all the Bengals games he just can't watch them live sometimes. I'm biased but I think Trico's call on the Hubbard return was one of the all time calls.
