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

After a mini-bye week, thanks to a Thursday Night Football game, the New Orleans Saints will return in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Saints are hoping the time off refreshed the team, because they’ve lost their last five games.

Entering Week 8 at 2-5, New Orleans needs to win to keep its playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Chargers, who will be playing host, will enter the game at 3-3. They are coming off a two-point loss to the Arizona Cardinals, so they will be eager to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

Let’s take a look at the announcers and referees for Sunday’s action.
