Prime Video play-by-play announcer Al Michaels was in rare form on Thursday night.
When he wasn't poking fun at Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams for a poorly-aged comment, Michaels was taking aim at the Thursday Night Football game as a whole, a 6–3 Seattle Seahawks' victory over the Chicago Bears in the lowest-scoring game of the NFL season.
NFL fans who braved the full 60 minutes of action between the Bears and Seahawks, which featured 13 punts, 10 sacks and five fumbles, were treated to a perfect joke by a tongue-in-cheek Michaels, who summed up the contest as only he could.
Al: Kirk, do you realize earlier this season...Seattle beat Chicago earlier this year, 6-3

Kirk: In a soccer game?
Al: Nope, Mariners beat the White Sox in Chicago on July 29th. There you go, history repeats. pic.twitter.com/eW26tqRTzE
Sure enough, Seattle paid a visit to Chicago on the baseball diamond in July, resulting in a 6–3 affair. Unfortunately, the midsummer baseball game between a Mariners team ultimately eliminated from the postseason and the White Sox, the worst MLB team in modern history, just may have been more exciting than Thursday night's football game.
