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

The New Orleans Saints will kick off the NFL’s Week 7, hosting the Denver Broncos for Thursday Night Football. The Saints will enter the game at 2-4, after losing their last four games. The Broncos, on the other hand, are 3-3, playing behind an really good defense.

This is a huge game from a storyline standpoint, as Sean Payton is now the head coach in Denver. This will be Payton’s first game back in New Orleans as a coach since retiring as the Saints coach. That storyline is likely the reason this is a primetime game.

In addition to Payton’s return, the team will be honoring Drew Brees, inducting him into the team’s Hall of Fame. Between honoring Brees with a win, getting a victory over Sean Payton, and avoiding a five-game losing streak, the Saints have a lot to play for.
