Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles: television broadcast map, announcers

A large share of the FOX audience will get to see a quarterback showdown between Josh Allen and Carson Wentz.

The Buffalo Bills (5-1) host the Philadelphia Eagles (3-4) at 1 p.m. Eastern Sunday in a Week 8 clash, their second of three straight home games coming out of the bye week.

For the first time this year, a Bills game will be broadcast on FOX, and the contest will be the featured national game of the week among the early match-ups for many fans across the country.

FOX’s No. 5 broadcasting team of Chris Myers (play-by-play), Daryl Johnston (analyst), and Laura Okmin (sideline reporter) will handle the Bills/Eagles game.
