Thebest sports broadcasterscan even turn broken plays into entertainment for fans viewing at home. Mike Tirico showed off that skill with a hilarious, off-script call during Week 5's "Sunday Night Football" divisional clash between theNew England PatriotsandBuffalo Bills. In the second half, there had still only been nine total points scored in the Sunday night prime-time game. WhenBillsquarterbackJosh Allenthrew a pass away into the stands, Tirico seized on an opportunity to inject some excitement into the broadcast. After a fan standing in the front row caught Allen's throwaway, he turned around and bolted for the exit. Tirico was on the call for the fan's mad dash up the Highmark Stadium stairs. The Bills fan in the Matt Milano jersey had his moment 😂NEvsBUF on NBCStream on@NFLPlus+ Peacockpic.twitter.com/50853nwya1 — NFL (@NFL)October 6, 2025
