Following Week 3 of the 1997 season, Marv Albert was fired by NBC because of sexual assault charges pressed against him. Albert, also the lead voice of "NBA on NBC" at the time, was replaced in both venues. Albert's final NFL broadcast for NBC was the Ravens-Giants game alongside Randy Cross and Len Berman. Tom Hammond would eventually move up to the #2 team, while Dan Hicks would primarily call games with Hammond's old partner, Jim Kelly. Three-man booths were near-prevalent in the aftermath of Marv Albert's firing. Outside of NBC's #1 team of Dick Enberg, Phil Simms, and Paul Maguire, NBC used the teams of Charlie Jones, Bob Trumpy, and Jim Mora (Seattle-Indianapolis in Week 3 and Cincinnati-Tennessee in Week 7), Jones, Trumpy, and Randy Cross (Kansas City-Miami in Week 6), Tom Hammond, Cross, and Jim Kelly (Buffalo-New England in Week 7), Dan Hicks, Trumpy, and Kelly (Pittsburgh-Cincinnati in Week 8), Hicks, Paul Maguire, and Kelly (Miami-Buffalo in Week 10), Hicks, Kelly, and James Lofton (Kansas City-Jacksonville in Week 11), Jones, Trumpy, and Cross (New York Jets-Miami in Week 11), Joel Meyers, Maguire, and Kelly (Jacksonville-Buffalo in Week 16, and Don Criqui, Mora, and Cross (Indianapolis-Minnesota in Week 17).
