NFL-- Tonight, the NFL world concerned about Cris Collinsworth

Cris Collinsworth appears to be underperforming in his call of NBC's Sunday Night Football debut.

The longtime game analyst will be in the booth with Mike Tirico for tonight's game between the Buccaneers and the Cowboys at Jerry World.

Collinsworth, on the other hand, does not sound like himself.

Tirico even addressed the situation, claiming that his partner is "playing hurt."

Collinsworth presided over the NFL season opener in California on Thursday, so it's understandable that he wants to work tonight.

However, collinworth does not sound well at all, and viewers have taken notice.

Collinsworth should be able to get through the broadcast and then get a good night's sleep because he doesn't have to call another game until next Sunday.
