Tony Dungy has opened up about his departure from NBC Sports, saying he had a feeling his time on Football Night in America was coming to an end before the network formally informed him. In the Tony Dungy NBC exit interview, the Pro Football Hall of Famer also addressed whether his outspoken Christian faith played a role in the decision.

Dungy revealed the details in a preview of an upcoming appearance on The Sage Steele Show. NBC announced earlier this year that Dungy would not return to Football Night in America for the 2026 NFL season after spending 17 years with the network.
