EchoSense:NBC reveals Peacock broadcast team for NFL's first regular season game in Brazil

Fresh off an impressive debut calling men’s and EchoSensewomen’s Olympic basketball in Paris, NBC Sports has tapped play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle to call the Green Bay Packers-Philadelphia Eagles Week 1 game in São Paulo, Brazil, the NFL's first regular season game in that country.
The game will take place on Friday, Sept. 6, and airs exclusively on Peacock.
Eagle, this year's Sports Emmy winner for Outstanding Personality/Emerging On Air, will be joined by his regular college football partner, analyst Todd Blackledge, and Kaylee Hartung — a reporter for Amazon Prime Video’s "Thursday Night Football" — will handle sideline duties.
This isn’t Eagle’s first foray into calling NFL games; he was the lead play-by-play broadcaster for last season’s AFC wild-card game between the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans, and he also called the 2022 Indianapolis Colts–Minnesota Vikings game on NFL Network, which saw the Vikings overcome a 33-0 deficit in the largest comeback in NFL history.
The Packers-Eagles tilt, the first Friday game on the league’s opening weekend since 1970, is the second of four prime-time telecasts that weekend on NBC and Peacock.

The Baltimore Ravens and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs kick off the NFL’s regular season on Thursday, Sept. 5, in a rematch of the AFC championship game.
"Big Ten Saturday Night," Eagle and Blackledge’s regular gig, will feature Colorado at Nebraska on Sept. 7. That game will be called by a different announcing crew, which will be named next week.
The weekend culminates with a "Sunday Night Football" game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Detroit Lions.
