With an instant classic Super Bowl in the books, we’re likely going to look back on the Kansas City Chiefs’ 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles fondly. (So will Travis Kelce.)
Calling the game on FOX were Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen as the play-by-play and color commentator, respectively. It was the announcing duo’s first time calling the big game, and judging by the moment — they were absolutely terrific in the booth. Burkhardt built suspense well on big plays, while Olsen offered insightful analysis in between.
In reality, it was nothing different from any of the duo’s usual called games. As the saying goes: if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
NFL fans really appreciated Burkhardt and Olsen’s announcing during Super Bowl 57.
Btw Kevin Burkhardt is so good. Greg Olsen gets the most love but KB is elite

Greg Olsen is getting so much pub that Kevin Burkhardt has flown under the radar a little. He's been excellent so far and that call of the fumble TD was outstanding.

Greg Olsen is doing such a great job! He’s for sure the best color commentator in football today!
He breaks down the game well, gets quiet when he needs to be and meshes well with Kevin Burkhardt! 🔥🔥

Shoutout to the announcing team there. Greg Olsen was honest about the penalty call in a clear way, and Kevin Burkhardt kept the excitement level up for the FG and the final seconds, despite the air being sucked out of the building

Outstanding work by Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.

Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen are succeeding here because they aren't trying to do anything they weren't doing in Week 5 just because it's the Super Bowl.

Greg Olsen has put on a clinic in Color Analysis and Kevin Burkhardt calls a great game as well. Been a very enjoyable broadcast.
