NBC plans to use Noah Eagle as the play-by-play voice for its No. 2 NFL playoff broadcast crew in January, passing on Al Michaels, the New York Post reported.

Lead NBC tandem Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth have the call on three of the network's four playoff broadcasts next month.

The network declined to bring back Michaels for the fourth game. Instead, the college football broadcast team of Eagle and Todd Blackledge with sideline reporter Kathryn Tappen drew the assignment.

Michaels, 79, reportedly earns $1 million per game in an agreement with Amazon that affords him the opportunity to accept assignments from NBC in his "emeritus" label granted when he left at the end of his last contract in 2022.
