The announcers have been set for the Super Bowl LX contest between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.
Mike Tirico will take on the play-by-play duties, while Cris Collinsworth will handle the analysis portion. Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung will both be on the sidelines for the game.
This is the second time that the Patriots and Seahawks have met in the Super Bowl. The first meeting came at Super Bowl XLIX, which is regarded as one of the all-time great Super Bowls. There was plenty of drama in that matchup with the Patriots overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, and cornerback Malcolm Butler sealing the game for New England by intercepting Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on the goal line.
Now, both franchises have entered a new era. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will look to complete the ascent of his career, while second-year quarterback Drake Maye will look to complete one of the most improbable turnarounds in franchise history.
The Patriots have an opportunity to win their seventh Super Bowl in franchise history. Few would have believed that it would have been possible before the season started. A team coming off back-to-back four-win seasons with a chance to win it all.
It's crazy how quickly things can change.
