Twitter rips Al Michaels, Chris Collinsworth for suits ahead of TNF

Chris Collinsworth did not do his patented slide in ahead of Week 1 of Thursday Night Football. Rather, the NBC broadcaster and his partner, Al Michaels, decided to wear something funky in the booth.

The two were paying homage to former Bears head coach George Halas ahead of their game against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field.

While Bears head coach Matt Nagy wearing a similar fedora earlier in the day was all the rage, Twitter was not having Michaels and Collinsworth duplicating the look.

Why do Al Michaels and Collinsworth look like they’re about to be doing some bootlegging of illegal alcohol

Al Michaels could not be feeling more shame and Collinsworth is having the time of his life.

How excited were Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth when informed the NFL and NBC wanted them to dress up for Halloween in September? pic.twitter.com/dx1kcaVNY6

Would love to have been a fly on the wall when the producer was trying to convince Al Michaels that he needed to wear THIS on opening night. pic.twitter.com/WyI2I2LCM7
