The game is the centerpiece of the NFL Network’s 20th anniversary weekend. Rich Eisen, Jason McCourty, and Dan Orlovsky will be in the booth, with Sara Walsh and Stacey Dales on the sidelines.
An NFL Network Original
Eisen was the first on-air talent hired by the NFL Network ahead of its launch in November 2003.
He left for the NFL Network after working at ESPN in several different roles from 1996 to 2003. Eisen was paired with Stuart Scott to host SportsCenter in 1996, and the two formed one of the most notable teams in the history of the network’s flagship show.

Eisen usually spends his Sunday mornings hosting NFL Network’s NFL GameDay Morning and hosting The Rich Eisen Show weekdays on The Roku Channel and SiriusXM. Eisen also hosts the NFL Draft and scouting combine for the NFL Network each year.
How Long Did Dan Orlovsky Play in the NFL?
Orlovsky played quarterback for the University of Connecticut from 2001 to 2004. He had 84 touchdown passes and 51 interceptions in 46 career games.
Orlovsky was drafted in the fifth round by the Detroit Lions in 2005. He spent his first two seasons with the Lions and started seven games in 2008. He threw 10 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions in 10 games that season.
The Lions became the first team in NFL history to lose all 16 games in 2008.
Orlovsky will be remembered for a play he made in 2008 with the Lions against the Minnesota Vikings. After taking the snap in the end zone, Orlovsky tried to scramble away from Jared Allen and ran out of the end zone for a safety.
Jason McCourty joined the NFL Network and Good Morning Football in 2022 after playing 13 seasons in the NFL with four teams. He had 18 interceptions in 173 career games after being a sixth-round pick in 2009 after playing at Rutgers.
McCourty played with his twin brother, Devin McCourty, with the New England Patriots from 2018 to 2020. They became the first set of twins to play in and win a Super Bowl when the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
