The Vikings get FOX’s Davis-Olsen broadcast team for the second year in a row

If you enjoyed Joe Davis and Greg Olsen’s call after the Vikings’ comeback win over the Cardinals last week, you’re in luck because the two will be back in the broadcast booth at US Bank Stadium for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. It’s another lunchtime kickoff on FOX.

Davis and Olsen are FOX’s No. 2 team behind Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady, who will play the Rams-Bills game later this afternoon.

When you win as many games as the Vikings do, you generally get pretty good broadcast assignments. Davis is one of the best play-by-play announcers in the business, in both football and baseball, while Olsen complements him well as a former player who offers good insight into the color commentator role. Last week, Olsen gave a useful explanation for why it might have been a mistake for the Cardinals to make a short field goal with a three-point lead late in the game.

The Vikings-Falcons game will be broadcast on local FOX stations throughout most of the Midwest, as well as in Atlanta and Florida and other parts of the Southeast, as this 506 Sports broadcast map shows.

The late window will allow fans in the Twin Cities to watch both games the Vikings need to secure a playoff spot, assuming they win their own game earlier in the day. The Vikings need the Bills to beat the Rams and the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals if they want to technically secure a spot this Sunday. Rams-Bills, as mentioned, is FOX’s main game of the window. Cardinals-Seahawks is on CBS.

This week’s Vikings game features the big storyline of Kirk Cousins’ return to Minnesota. Cousins ​​is coming off a four-interception game against the Chargers, but he and the 6-6 Falcons still lead the NFC South and have the talent to cause some problems for the Vikings.
