With Jon Gruden accepting the head coaching job with the Oakland Raiders, Sean McDonough out of the broadcasting booth, and Chris Berman mostly retired, the “Monday Night Football” announcing team is going through some serious changes in 2018. On Thursday evening, ESPN finally announced the broadcasting teams for Week 1’s MNF doubleheader.
The Detroit Lions and New York Jets will start the early game, which typically features the “A Team” of ESPN announcers. They will get the combination of Beth Mowins on play-by-play and Brian Griese as the color analyst.
