There’s another changeup coming for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast this season, and New Orleans Saints fans will get a first look at it in their team’s Week 2 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. ESPN is bringing back analysts Dan Orlovsky and Louis Riddick for their Monday night B-team, but they’re replacing Steve Levy with Chris Fowler. The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch first reported news of the switch.
The flagship network made a splashy move last year by poaching both Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from FOX Sports, and they’ll continue to be the A-team on most Monday nights (they’re also handling the Browns-Steelers game in Week 2, which kicks off after the Saints and Panthers). But there are three double-headers on this year’s NFL schedule, so we’ll be seeing a lot of Fowler, Orlovsky, and Riddick on those broadcasts.
