We have another week with a Sunday morning game this week from London, with the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET. It is the second of seven games on the NFL Network this season.
Rich Eisen and Jason McCourty will be in the broadcast booth as the game’s announcers, with Sara Walsh and Stacey Dales on the sidelines.
Pregame coverage begins at 7 a.m. ET on NFL Network, with Colleen Wolfe filling in as host for Eisen. Analysts Michael Irvin, Steve Mariucci, and Gerald McCoy are in their usual spots on the set.
An NFL Network Original
Prior to its launch in November 2003, Eisen was the NFL Network’s first on-air talent hire. He left for NFL Network after working at ESPN in several different roles from 1996 to 2003. Eisen was paired with Stuart Scott to host SportsCenter in 1996, and the two formed one of the most notable teams in the history of the network’s flagship show.
Eisen usually spends his Sunday mornings hosting NFL Network’s NFL GameDay Morning and hosting The Rich Eisen Show weekdays on The Roku Channel and SiriusXM. Eisen also hosts the NFL Draft and the NFL Scouting Combine for the NFL Network each year.
At the Scouting Combine, Eisen runs a 40-yard dash each year to raise money to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This past spring was the 19th year he made the charity sprint, and he posted a time of 6.22 seconds. It was slightly under two seconds slower than Michigan cornerback DJ Turner’s 4.26 time.
Twins Make History in New England
Jason and Devin McCourty became the first set of twins to play in and win a Super Bowl when the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. They hosted a podcast, Double Coverage, when they were both members of the Patriots from 2018 to 2020.

Jason retired from playing and joined the NFL Network and Good Morning Football in 2022 after playing 13 seasons in the NFL with four different teams. He had 18 interceptions in 173 career games as a sixth-round pick in 2009 after playing at Rutgers.
Devin, meanwhile, is on NBC’s pregame show, Football Night in America.
Dales Dominated the Hardwood
Before becoming an NFL reporter, Dales was a two-time All-American basketball player at Oklahoma. She was the third overall pick by the Washington Mystics in the 2002 WNBA Draft after being the first women’s basketball player at Oklahoma to score 1,700 points, grab 600 rebounds, and record 700 assists.
Dales joined ESPN as a college basketball analyst after spending seven seasons in the WNBA. She has been a reporter and a host for several studio shows since moving to NFL Network in 2009.
