Detroit Lions fans aren’t happy with NBC’s Mike Tirico.
On Thursday night, the Lions got their first win of the season against the reigning Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs, in a close game that went to the wire.
After the game, Tirico commented that the Lions’ win should come with an asterisk because the Chiefs were without two stars in, Chris Jones and Travis Kelce.
“This has an asterisk because of no Chris Jones and no Travis Kelce”
Nah this comment by Tirico is insane pic.twitter.com/iZx0wYbxrm

Mike Tirico really said this Lions win is an asterisk because there was no Chris Jones and Travis Kelce….
Chiefs literally have Patrick Mahomes…
I’m sick.

If you just listened to that game you’d think Mike Tirico & Chris Collingsworth were the broadcast crew for the Kansas City Chiefs football radio network…
