With the college football regular season over, the NFL is taking over Saturdays.
The league will hold at least one Saturday game in each of the season’s final four weeks, and the next Saturday without an NFL game won’t be until conference championship weekend. With the playoff push in full swing and 30 teams still mathematically in contention entering Week 15, just about every game matters.

Week 15 features a Saturday tripleheader, which will be broadcast entirely on NFL Network. The Vikings will meet the Bengals in a battle of playoff contenders down to backup quarterbacks, followed by a crucial AFC battle between the Steelers and Colts after losses last week. Finally, the Lions will host the Broncos in prime time with Detroit knowing a win could put the franchise in position to clinch a playoff berth the following day.

Here’s what you need to know about the broadcast duos for Saturday’s tripleheader on NFL Network.
Vikings vs. Bengals announcers

Chris Rose (play-by-play) and Jason McCourty (color analyst) will be on the call from Cincinnati for the Bengals’ matchup with Minnesota.
Rose has worked for NFL Network since 2012, largely doing work outside the booth as a studio host or on-site host. He also spent a decade working with MLB Network from 2010-2020. Rose has done some play-by-play work for both Fox and NFL Network, and he also spent time as a play-by-play announcer for the Browns’ radio broadcast.
McCourty joined NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” team in 2022 and has also been in the booth as a color analyst for CBS Sports’ college football coverage. The former NFL cornerback called both of the NFL’s Germany games last month, though he worked alongside Rich Eisen.
The Vikings played in this slot last season on Saturday of Week 15 and completed the largest comeback in NFL history against the Colts, so Rose and McCourty will need to be prepared for the unexpected this time.
Steelers vs. Colts announcers
Rich Eisen (play-by-play) and Kurt Warner (color analyst) will be on the call from Lucas Oil Stadium as the Colts host the Steelers.

Eisen has long been a studio host for NFL Network, having joined the network 20 years ago. He has regularly been given play-by-play roles for international games hosted by NFL Network, calling both Germany games last month, and Eisen will have an opportunity to get some more play-by-play reps on Saturday.
Warner has been with NFL Network since 2010, serving as a studio analyst since his playing career ended. The Hall of Fame quarterback gained some experience as a color analyst with Fox Sports in 2010 and has served in an analyst role on Westwood One radio broadcasts for NFL games.

Broncos vs. Lions announcers
There are only so many NFL Network announcers to go around. The network is borrowing Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Trent Green (color analyst) from CBS for Saturday night’s game between the Broncos and Lions.
Harlan is one of the most beloved NFL announcers, so it’s no surprise that NFL Network wanted to bring him over for what figures to be a competitive game. Green has worked for CBS Sports since 2014, initially serving as a color analyst alongside Greg Gumbel before teaming up with Harlan.
This isn’t the first time NFL Network has borrowed an analyst from another network. ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky called last month’s matchup between the Chiefs and Dolphins in Germany alongside Eisen and McCourty, receiving positive reviews for his work in the booth. While that booth was a bit of a risk, given not everyone has worked together, NFL Network knows what it’s getting out of Harlan and Green.
