Who will call Bears games on Fox, CBS? Here are my predictions.
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the Buccaneers-Bears game in Week 5 on Fox’s “Thursday Night Football.”NFL teams often get recognized by the national TV networks like players in pursuit of a Pro Bowl berth: A year late.
For example, when the Bears went 12-4 in 2018, Fox didn’t assign them a crew higher than fourth on its depth chart until Week 13, and it didn’t give them its top crew until Week 17.
With soaring expectations for the Bears entering last season, Fox gave them its top crew in Week 7, in addition to national broadcasts on Thanksgiving and the following Thursday night.
