“Kirk Herbstreit, ‘NFL on Prime Video’ Identifies Wrong 49ers Player as Trent Williams”

Football on Thursday evenings Week 15 featured an NFC West battle between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams have a slim chance of making the playoffs despite a number of injuries this season.

The 49ers arrived without star left tackle Trent Williams, who missed his fourth straight game and hasn’t played since Nov. 17. During the NFL on Prime Video On Thursday night’s broadcast, Kirk Herbstreit talked about how important Williams was while both he and the production team misidentified defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera as a Pro Bowl offensive lineman.

“There’s Trent Williams, who is a big part of the strength of this offensive line,” Herbstreit said. “And they miss him up front. Not just because of his talent, just because of his presence and what his presence means to this offensive line and the type of personality of this offensive line.”

Considering the program was ready for Williams to take over the Chyron, it’s not fair to blame everything on Herbstreit, but he still took the brunt of the criticism on social media.

Eventually, Prime’s cameras found Williams in a suite and correctly identified him.

Amazon has shown Football on Thursday evenings Games since 2017, but has just taken over production and become the exclusive streaming home of NFL on Prime Video in 2023.
