The Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams battled each other on Sunday Night Football in the first overtime game of the 2024 NFL season.

Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico were in the locker room for NBC, but Collinsworth appeared to have a memory lapse during overtime. As the Lions marched down the field, leaning heavily on their running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, Collinsworth began to suggest that Detroit would try to kick a field goal to secure the win.

Collinsworth seemed to believe that the NFL has sudden-death overtime rules, and spoke as if the Lions were trying to win the game with a field goal. In reality, the game would only be over if Detroit scored a touchdown. If they kicked a field goal, the Rams would have a chance to get possession of the football and fight back.

“You start thinking about it, right? You start thinking about how much you need before you line up and kick? You start thinking about which side you want the kicker to be able to kick from?” Collinsworth said as the Lions marched down the field.

“Try to score and don’t let the Rams have a chance to even touch the ball,” Tirico replied, apparently trying to remind Collinsworth of the rules.

The little faux pas did not go unnoticed by NFL fans, who quickly wondered whether Collinsworth knew the league’s overtime rules.
