Who are the announcers on Thursday Night Football on Prime Video?

Prime Video has assembled an all-star lineup of on-air talent to guide you through all the Thursday Night Football game action this season.

The team includes legendary announcers, nationally renowned reporters, former NFL players, and top production personnel.

With four seasons under their belts, the Thursday Night Football on-air team has developed a natural chemistry to enhance the football viewing experience for fans across the country. The team's approach focuses on creating an engaging, conversational broadcast that feels like watching the game with friends rather than being lectured by experts.

"The ultimate goal to us is: Are we the kind of people that you wanna watch a game with?" TNF analyst and ex-NFL player Andrew Whitworth said on a recent media interview. "We're there to create the picture and have a blast and say, 'Man, let's watch this freaking awesome game tonight. Let's find a way to laugh at ourselves, laugh at the game, have fun with it.'

"And I think we've got a crew of people that do that, and I think the bond is very unique and special."

"I can say this now doing it three years in: There's nobody else I wanna do it with, and I don't know if I'd do it if it wasn't with this crew of people and that's just the truth. We're family.
