Overview

• During the Eagles–Giants Prime Video telecast, Michaels incorrectly said more than once that Saquon Barkley was traded to Philadelphia.
• He corrected himself on air after the first slip, noting Barkley signed with the Eagles in 2024 free agency on a three-year, $37.75 million deal.
• He repeated the “Barkley trade” line in the second quarter, drawing wide attention on social media.
• The episode followed notable mistakes on the previous week’s 49ers–Rams TNF broadcast, heightening scrutiny of his recent calls.
• Viewer reaction ranged from calls for retirement to praise for his long career, as Michaels continues in the TNF booth.
