Who are the announcers and referees for Texans vs. Patriots today?

It's already Week 6 as the 2024 NFL Season is rapidly moving along. This weekend, the Houston Texans (4-1) hit the road to take on the New England Patriots (1-4).

The once-dominant franchise is in the middle of a rebuild under rookie head coach Jerod Mayo and has made a change at quarterback, bringing in the No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye, who will replace Jacoby Brissett. Maye has the talent to get the job done but the talent around him is questionable.

Of course, the Texans know as well as anyone what a new signal-caller can do. They showed huge improvement under C.J. Stroud as the No. 2 overall pick in 2023 led them to the second round of the playoffs in his first season as a starter.

That's why they won't overlook Maye or the Pats as they look for win No. 5. But who will be on the call?
