The NFL’s Thursday Night Football will look and feel vastly different this season, as the broadcast shifts to exclusive streaming on Amazon’s “Prime Video” platform. Among other changes, the new team of Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will be calling the games this season.
As outlined by NBC Sports’ Peter King in this Monday’s “Football Morning in America” column, the company wants to start with a bang with the first matchup.
To be clear: Thursday Night Football will debut on Amazon in Week 2, following the Week 1 Thursday night NFL opener featuring the world champion Los Angeles Rams — which will be broadcast on NBC.
