Cris Collinsworth kicked off Super Bowl 56 with a very special ‘Collinsworth slide’ and fans got emotional

Was this a sad, final slide?

NBC is broadcasting tonight’s Super Bowl, which means Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth – two of the best announcers in all of sports – are on the call, which is always a good thing for football fans.

You know what that also means? Collinsworth got to start things off with one of his slides, which is a fun/silly thing that fans have fallen in love with over the years.

Well, this one might have been extra special because it’s feeling like this might be Michaels’ last game on NBC and his last game with Collinsworth. He even seemed to tease his exit by saying before the slide: “Slide in for one final time.”

Check this out:

Fans were emotional about it:
