Cris Collinsworth brought good luck to the Seattle Seahawks, or he may have subjected the San Francisco 49ers to the “announcer’s jinx,” depending on your perspective. Just before Brock Purdy took the snap on a 2nd-and-10 play in the third quarter of the 49ers-Seahawks game on Thursday night, Collinsworth mentioned that the Seattle defence needed to make a big play. And indeed, the Seahawks delivered, with Jordyn Brooks intercepting Purdy and returning it to the end zone for a touchdown. Now, that is what we can call magic in the real sense.
NFL fans wondered if Cris Collinsworth had psychic abilities after the NBC analyst called for a “big defensive play” from the Seattle Seahawks just seconds before Jordyn Brooks scored a pick-six.
“It’s a deflection. It’s an interception. It’s a big play. And it’s a Jordan Brooks touchdown,”
Exclaimed NBC announcer Mike Tirico. “That’ll do,” added Collinsworth. The Seattle Seahawks, trailing 24-3 against the San Francisco 49ers in the third quarter, needed a spark, and they got it with a timely play. These do look like psychic abilities and we are sure there is magic in the way he plays.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw a pass aimed at Christian McCaffrey. Still, it got deflected multiple times before Jordyn Brooks secured it, scoring a 12-yard touchdown on his first career interception. Brooks, who recovered from a torn ACL in Week 17 last year, made a remarkable return for the 2023 season in less than eight months after the injury.
Remaining healthy through the first 10 games, the linebacker has played a crucial role in Seattle’s defence, achieving a career-high 3.5 sacks. This is a career-defining moment; he is one of the finest examples of a sporting prodigy in the world.
