There were a total of 19 (!) penalties called in Thursday night’s Dallas Cowboys win over the Seattle Seahawks in what was one of the more thrilling weekday primetime games we’ve seen this season.
But over 250 yards in penalties? That’s A LOT. Kind of sloppy when you think about it. And midway through the third quarter, Al Michaels had to say something about it on the air with Prime Video.
“We’re gonna take the rest of the night off and let Clete Blakeman call the game,” he remarked.
Boom, roasted! And that was just in the third quarter! Here’s the line from Michaels and some reaction:
"we're gonna take the rest of the night off and let Clete Blakeman call the game" lol https://t.co/HydbjreBu3 pic.twitter.com/JehvOOCTDJ
