The New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams meet in a matchup between 7-7 teams on Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. The Rams enter the week with the last NFC Wild Card spot, and the Saints are on the outside because of tiebreakers.
Los Angeles has won four of their last five to surge into the playoff race after a 3-6 start. New Orleans is also tied for first in the NFC South, but again, they are on the wrong side of a tiebreaker with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kickoff is at 8:15 p.m. ET, while the pregame show starts at 7 p.m. But who will be announcing the Week 16 matchup?
Who Will Be Announcing the Saints-Rams Broadcast Tonight?
Al Michaels will be doing play-by-play, Kirk Herbstreit is providing analysis, and Kaylee Hartung is reporting from the sidelines.
Michaels joined Amazon Prime in 2022 and has been broadcasting a weekly prime-time NFL game since 1986. He called Monday Night Football on ABC from 1986 to 2005 before moving to NBC’s Sunday Night Football in 2006.
Michaels was NBC’s play-by-play announcer for Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. It was his 11th Super Bowl play-by-play assignment, tying Pat Summerall for the most ever.
