Eagles-Vikings: Start time, how to watch and stream

The Eagles return to U.S. Bank Stadium for the first time since winning Super Bowl LII to take on a Minnesota Vikings team with the best rushing attack in the NFL and the searing memory of Birds fans hijacking their “Skol” chants for Nick Foles.

Fox’s No. 2 crew will be calling the game, which means Birds fans will once again get Charles Davis, the voice of Madden football. This is already the second Eagles game of the season for Davis, who called the Birds season-opening win over the Redskins. Davis also worked two Eagles games last season, including the Birds’ heartbreaking loss to the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs.

Davis’ normal broadcast partner is New Jersey native Kevin Burkhardt, but he won’t be in the booth Sunday because once again he’s the studio host of Fox’s postseason baseball coverage alongside Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, and David Ortiz.

Instead, handling this afternoon’s play-by-play duties will be the versatile Kenny Albert, who has called NFL games for Fox since the network first began airing football in 1994. Albert is among the few national play-by-play broadcasters to call NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL games, and just wrapped up calling the Yankees’ victory over the Rays in the ALDS on FS1 (which featured Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard’s one-handed catch in the stands).

“That gentleman just barehanded the ball. He was excited. He got an $8 baseball!” Albert said of Howard’s snag.
