Now to our last NFL preview, NBC’s look at Sunday Night Football which will involve the NFC East blood rivalry between Dallas and Washington. This will be the battle for the NFC East. This is not necessarily “loser go home” as the DC NFL Team can still make the playoffs with a loss depending on earlier action. The Dallas Cowboys will go home if they lose.
Al Michaels will call the game and be joined in the booth by Cris Collinsworth and on the sidelines by Michele Tafoya.
Bob Costas will be at the Stadium Formerly Known as Jack Kent Cooke in Landover, MD with analyst Hines Ward. And Dan Patrick will be in the NBC Sports’ New York studios for Football Night in America with Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison.
Here’s NBC’s press release.
