MICHAEL VICK AND THE EAGLES HOST TONY ROMO AND THE COWBOYS IN NFC EAST RIVALRY ON “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL”

COVERAGE BEGINS WITH FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA AT 7 PM ET
“They are the class of this division.” – Rodney Harrison on the Eagles
“Nobody is running away with this division.” – Tony Dungy on NFC East

NEW YORK – October 26, 2011 – Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the Washington Redskins in their last game, host Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys, who are coming off a 34-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams, in a key NFC East rivalry game on Sunday Night Football.

Calling Cowboys-Eagles will be six-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 26th season as the voice of the NFL’s premier primetime package; 12-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who won the Emmy for outstanding event analyst in both of his seasons in the Sunday Night Football booth; and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, in her first season on SNF.

Coverage begins Sunday with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET with 22-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas hosting the program live from inside Lincoln Financial Field. Costas is joined on site by Michaels and Collinsworth for reaction to the afternoon games.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from Studio 8G at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza studios and is joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, Peter King of Sports Illustrated and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com. Alex Flanagan will report from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pa., on the Patriots-Steelers game.

HARRISON ON EAGLES: “I still like the Eagles. I think they are the class of this division.”

DUNGY ON THE NFC EAST: “Nobody is running away with this division. Win this game and you are right back in it.”

HARRISON ON COWBOYS: “I am anxious to see if Tony Romo, who has been inconsistent this year, can make the key plays in the key moments of this game and not make those critical mistakes.”

That will do it.
