During the recent "Thursday Night Football on Prime" broadcast, there was a major mistake made by either the production team or the on-air broadcaster, Kirk Herbstreit. This blunder caused quite a stir on social media, as San Francisco 49ers' left tackle, Trent Williams, was incorrectly identified. As reported by Awful Announcing, the error occurred in the first quarter when Williams' name appeared on the screen under a different 49ers player who was also not playing in the game.
Many viewers and members of the NFL media were quick to point out the mistake, with some using humor to express their frustration with Prime's production team. Former NFL player, Emmanuel Acho, even took to Twitter to point out the error and clarify that the player shown on the screen was not Trent Williams. Fans also joined in on the criticism, with one user joking that the Williams they showed was like a "Trent Williams at home" version.
It wasn't until the second quarter that the production team finally found the real Trent Williams, who was sitting in a box suite due to an ankle injury. This mistake was especially disappointing for Williams, who has been dealing with the loss of his son, Trenton Williams Jr, and his son's twin, who were both lost during his wife's pregnancy. According to ESPN, 49ers' coach, Kyle Shanahan, has been supportive of Williams during this difficult time and even mentioned that being on the football field and around his teammates can be a helpful distraction.
Some have speculated that, given the 49ers' current record and their likely elimination from the playoffs, it may be wise for Williams to remain sidelined for the rest of the season, even if he is able to play. However, during the off-season, Williams sought advice from NBA star, LeBron James, on how to extend his playing career and end it on a high note. In a recent interview with ESPN, Williams expressed his desire to finish his career strong and potentially earn a spot in the Hall of Fame.
In related news, it was recently announced that Amazon Prime has obtained exclusive rights to broadcast the 2023 "Black Friday" NFL game. Fans are excited to see how this new partnership will impact future football broadcasts.
