Jonathan Vilma is coming back to the Caesars Superdome. The fan-favorite former New Orleans Saints linebacker is on the call for this week’s game broadcast, offering analysis from the FOX Sports booth with Kenny Albert on play-by-play and Shannon Spake reporting from the field. Kickoff with the Carolina Panthers is scheduled for Noon CT/1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 10.
Vilma knows Dennis Allen well; the Saints head coach worked on staff as their defensive backs coach on the Super Bowl XLIV-winning team. So he’s likely going to offer some well-informed analysis during the game.
The Saints can’t afford another loss, especially to the one-win Panthers. Allen’s team has fallen into a three-game losing skid (briefly interrupted by their bye week) that put them in third-place in the NFC South, widely regarded as the worst division in pro football. Here’s hoping Vilma can share his take on a much-needed win for New Orleans.
