CBS' Jim Nantz will reach a rare broadcasting milestone when he calls his 500th NFL game Sunday Jim Nantz has called many signature events during his nearly 40 years at CBS Sports.
According to CBS records, Nantz is the first person in CBS’ storied NFL history to work 500 games as a play-by-play announcer.
Nantz will be the eighth NFL TV play-by-play announcer to reach 500 games, but only the second with all of his games at one network.
“With the historic relationship between the league and CBS that no one else can boast about and to think I have been given the blessing of calling more NFL games play-by-play than anyone in the network’s history, it’s meaningful and something that resonates for me.”.
Nantz will call his 500th NFL game when the Buffalo Bills host the Denver Broncos in an AFC wild-card round game.
