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

Jags #Jags

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.
