Al Michaels calls playoff interceptions against Jags by Asante Samuel and Asante Samuel Jr.

Broadcast history repeated itself for Al Michaels and the Samuel family

Now, this is some brilliant research and preparation.

Timothy Burke — @bubbaprog on Twitter — posted a fantastic blended video that mixes Al Michaels’ calls with Saturday’s AFC Wild-Card game in Jacksonville and a playoff game 17 years and 7 days ago.

In 2006, the New England Patriots were playing the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Byron Leftwich threw a pass that was intercepted by Asante Samuel and turned into a pick-six.

Fast forward to Saturday, this time in Jacksonville, and Trevor Lawrence threw three first-quarter interceptions, two to Asante Samuel Jr., son of the Patriots DB who picked Leftwich more than a decade ago.

Samuel Jr. made it a 2023 hat trick, picking off Lawrence in the second quarter as the Chargers were blowing the game open.
