FOX will televise their first TNF contest of the brand-new season on Thursday, September 26th as DeSean Jackson and the Philadelphia Eagles visit Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

H/T: NFL.
There is nothing better than watching the Jaguars and the Titans square off on Thursday Night Football. That is the matchup I look forward to watching every year. Mariota has owned the Jags so far in his career. Maybe the addition of Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles will turn the tables in Jacksonville's favor in this series going forward.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the NFL loves putting this matchup in primetime, even if both teams are mediocre. Such a weird obsession.
DeleteWho do you think will call the two London games in Week 6 and Week 9?
ReplyDeleteRemember, last year NFL Network assigned their "NFL Gameday Morning" crew of Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Kurt Warner and Michael Irvin to that Week 8 Eagles-Jaguars game. I thought that crew did real well. Maybe we will see them call one or potentially both work the Week 6 & Week 9 contests.
DeleteChiefs/Broncos is on the same night as game 5 of the ALCS. Buck is calling the Yankees series so he won't be in the booth for the Thursday night NFL game. No idea who will call that game with Aikman
ReplyDeleteJoe Buck will be calling Chiefs/Broncos. Joe Davis will fill-in for Buck for Game 5 of the ALCS (which Houston forced last night with a Carlos Correa walk-off home run).
DeleteAccording to Wednesday's PFT Live, Mike Florio mentioned that Mike Tirico and Kurt Warner would be calling the Saturday week 16 Bills-Patriots game.

ReplyDeleteIt makes sense they would use Mike Tirico for that game. NFLN used him in both weeks 15 and 16 with a Saturday night game last year. I think people realize this guy needs to get in and call more games. And since it's expected a game will be flexed into Sunday night, he had an earlier game to work with and one that is close to the NBC studio in Stamford, CT (at least I believe it to be there).
DeleteI would love to see Gus Johnson call a game. He has not called an NFL game since week 17 of 2014.
DeleteHere they are!!
ReplyDeleteRich Eisen, Nate Burleson and Joe Thomas, along with Melissa Stark on the sidelines, will call the Houston Texans vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game at 1:00 PM ET from Tampa.
Mike Tirico and Kurt Warner, along with Peter Schrager on the sidelines, will call the Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots game at 4:30 PM ET from Foxboro.
Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis, along with Pam Oliver on the sidelines, will call the Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers game at 8:15 PM ET from Santa Clara.
Jonah Katz Thanks man!
