While the Rams and the 49ers offered a defensive showdown in Australia last week, it was the opposite on Thursday as the two offensive juggernauts gave fans a 41-31 thriller.While veteran broadcaster Al Michaels praised Josh Allen for his three passing, two rushing touchdown masterclass, one comment from the play-by-play caller caught the attention of fans watching from home.Michaels described Allen as the best scrambling quarterback in the league amid his 69-yard rushing performance, which drew backlash from fans.One fan added: “Al Michaels called Josh Allen arguably best dual threat QB… Get him off my tv. Does he know Lamar, Newton, Vick exist?”Al Michaels addressed NFL’s TNF Scheduling Ahead of Bills-Lions MatchupMichaels has been part of the Amazon crew covering the NFL since 2022.
