Calls out Mount against Al Michaels for spreading misinformation as TNF announcer Mark Andrews makes hip drop tackle claim

No matter which team wins or loses on Thursday Night Football, Al Michaels is always slandered. The Cincinnati Bengals visited M&T Bank Stadium to beat them Lamar Jackson and be Baltimore Ravens. He said something in the game that people thought was a blatant lie and he wouldn’t mind spreading it “Misinformation.”

Coincidentally, the Ravens TE suffered a serious left ankle injury in the Week 11 game against the Cincinnati Bengals last season. It was a tackle, but what Al Michaels said was completely wrong. Made the injury Mark Andrews missed a few games but eventually returned to play in the AFC title game against the Chiefs.

The original prognosis for Andrew’s injury was that the injury was due to a hip drop tackle when he was tackled by Bengals’ LB Logan Wilson. Andrews underwent surgery to repair his broken fibula and ligament damage. The tackle occurred as Andrews headed for the first down with just 11 minutes left. Even though the TE was injured, the Ravens still won the game 34-20.

When Andrews was attacked, he stood up in agony and was seen walking cautiously off the field. While people thought that Andrews would not return for the season, he returned to the field much earlier and played the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens lost that game 17-10.

While countless sources indicate that the injury was due to a hip drop tackle, many fans disagree. We’ll talk about that in a moment. After the injury, Andrews spoke to the media and said: “Taking that tackle out of the game is not a bad thing.” and that “I think the defense can find a way around that.”

So what do people think about Al Michaels’ assessment of Mark Andrews’ injury?

Fans react to Al Michaels’ call to play

One fan didn’t want to agree with what the Thursday Night Football commentator said when he pointed out: “Hey @NFLonPrime, Mark Andrews was NOT the victim of a hip drop tackle in this game last year. Al Michaels, stop lying.” Another person just thought that the commenter was just a… “salty old man.”

Another fan just pointed out the perennial narrative that always surrounds Al Michaels when he said: “Al Michaels sucks.” One fan said the commenter was spreading the word “Propaganda,” when he wrote, “I love Al Michaels, but to say that Mark Andrews was the ‘victim of a hip drop tackle’ in this game last year is pure propaganda.”

Another fan just dropped an F-bomb and called out the veteran, while another said something interesting: “Al Michaels was still calling the Logan tackle on Mark Andrews a hip drop when the league sent out a video of it and said it was not a tackle under the rule they put in place.”
