CBS revealed that Ian Eagle (play-by-play), J.J. Watt (color) and Evan Washburn (sideline) will have the call for the Steelers-Patriots game on Sunday.
This will be the second time this year that the crew will call a Steelers game. The first time came in Week 1 against the New York Jets.
The Steelers-Jets game marked J.J. Watt’s first game as a color analyst for the network. His first time in the booth was last year when Netflix had the Steelers-Chiefs game on Christmas Day. J.J. Watt spent time in The NFL Today studio last season.
