Christmas will be coming early for Carolina Panthers fans.
Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys—which will be carried by FOX—was originally slated to have the broadcast team of play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert, color analyst Jonathan Vilma and sideline reporter Megan Olivi. But there’s been a bit of a change in programming, folks.
As noted by Panthers beat writer Sheena Quick on Wednesday night, the game will now feature FOX’s No. 2 crew—headlined by franchise great and multi-time Emmy Award-winning analyst Greg Olsen. Olsen, per usual, will be joined by Joe Davis on the play-by-play and Pam Oliver from the sideline.
Before becoming one of the most beloved voices in the NFL, Olsen had cemented himself as the greatest tight end in Panthers history. The two-time Second-Team All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler spent nine of his 14 pro campaigns in Carolina—where he reeled in 524 catches for 6,463 yards and 39 touchdowns.
Olsen also called last year’s Week 11 clash between the Panthers and Cowboys from Bank of America Stadium.
Welcome back, Greg!
