Tirico revealed that he was playing with his own pain while calling the Eagles-Rams game on "Sunday Night Football."

During Week 12’s Sunday Night Football broadcast of Eagles-Rams, NBC’s Mike Tirico — with the encouragement of Cris Collinsworth — revealed to viewers that he had suffered a torn Achilles earlier in the week. But that didn’t stop him from making the trip to Los Angeles and calling the game from SoFi Stadium.

NFL players are done for the season whenever they suffer an Achilles injury. In the case of a football announcer, they just keep going.

Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth were in the booth as usual for NBC's broadcast of Sunday Night Football in Week 12 as the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Los Angeles Rams. Tirico, however, could be seen with a medical boot on his left leg.

No such thing as IR for Mike Tirico. The play-by-play announcer worked NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams after tearing his Achilles on Monday. Tirico tore his Achilles when he missed a step in his house.
