Who are the announcers and referees for Falcons vs. Saints today?

The New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons are set to share the field for the first time since Week 18 of last season. New Orleans won that game 48-17, and infamously scored a touchdown late in the game on a fake kneel. That added even more hard feelings to the already tense rivalry, and now, Atlanta has the chance to turn its tears into action.

A lot has changed since that Week 18 game, though, specifically for the Falcons. They have a new coach, a new quarterback, and several other new high-profile players. However, no amount of offseason acquisitions can change that Atlanta is still the Saints’ little brother.

Like every game New Orleans has played this season, the broadcast will be handled by FOX. In the last two weeks, Saints fans had to listen to former rivals Tom Brady and Greg Olsen as the color commentator, but this game, they get one of their own with Johnathan Vilma on the call.
