TV announcers for Panthers-Packers game includes a hall of fame QB
The Carolina Panthers will get another chance at prime time this year.
The team’s Week 15 game against the Green Bay Packers (10-3) has been scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Saturday, December 19. The game will be called by Mike Tirico and Kurt Warner, along with Melissa Stark. It will air on NFL Network and WSOC locally.
This will be the second straight season the Panthers (4-9) have traveled to play at Lambeau Field. They lost a close game in Green Bay last November, 24-16, coming up about an inch short on a Christian McCaffrey run. McCaffrey’s status is up in the air for Saturday’s game after he missed a fourth straight game vs. the Denver Broncos with his third injury of the year (quad).
The Panthers also played on Thursday Night Football this year, losing to the Atlanta Falcons at home.
The game had been one of five the NFL was considering for two Saturday time slots the weekend prior to Christmas. Buffalo Bills vs. Broncos will get the other slot at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The Panthers are 2-5 on Saturdays all-time. This will be the team’s first Saturday game since a 2016 Christmas Eve loss to the Falcons, 33-16.
