But it was Sunday Night Football analyst Cris Collinsworth who was the hot topic during the telecast.

Collinsworth Set to Sign Extension With NBC
Collinsworth joined the Sunday Night Football crew in 2009, to replace legendary coach and broadcaster, John Madden. Since then, he has become one of the more recognizable voices in all of sports as he projects into the homes of millions of people on Sunday nights. He has also called several Super Bowl games.
People who are not fans of his won't be thrilled to hear the latest report from the Athletic. According to the outlet, The analyst and NBC are working out the details of a multi-year extension for him to remain with the network until 2030.
"NBC Sports is working toward a deal that will keep Cris Collinsworth as its lead NFL game analyst through the end of the decade, putting him in line to call two more Super Bowls, sources briefed on the discussions told The Athletic," The Athletic writes.
"When the agreement goes through, as expected, Collinsworth, 65, will be analyzing NBC's "Sunday Night Football" prime time games with Mike Tirico through the 2029-2030 season. Collinsworth currently makes around $12.5 million a year, according to sources briefed on his deal. The new contract is expected to be a four-year agreement."
