ESPN Reveals No. 2 NFL Broadcasting Team for 2022 Season
ESPN announced Tuesday that it will employ a second NFL broadcasting team to handle a group of games during the 2022 regular season.
The network revealed that Steve Levy (play-by-play), Louis Riddick and Dan Orlovsky (analysts) and Laura Rutledge (sideline reporter) will announce three games this fall in weeks in which ESPN is scheduled to broadcast multiple contests. In most instances, the team of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters will handle the responsibilities in the booth, but on select occasions, the other broadcast crew will step in.
In a press release Tuesday, ESPN announced that Levy, Riddick, Orlovsky and Rutledge will work the following games:
- Week 2: Titans at Bills (Monday, Sept. 19, 7 p.m. ET on ESPN)
- Week 8: Broncos at Jaguars from Wembley Stadium in London (Sunday, Oct. 30, at 9:30 a.m. on ESPN+)
- Week 18: One of the NFL on ESPN: Saturday Doubleheader games (Jan. 7 at 4:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. on ABC and ESPN)
