Who are the announcers and referees for NY Jets vs Jaguars today?
By Justin Fried
The NY Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to do battle in what is simultaneously one of the most and least anticipated games of the NFL's Week 15 slate.
Both the Jets and Jaguars enter this game with 3-10 records having been officially eliminated from postseason contention. But while there's little at stake as far as the regular season standings are concerned, the same can't be said about the draft order.
This matchup is less about wins and losses on the field and more about the positioning for key draft selections, adding intrigue to what might otherwise feel like a low-stakes contest.
Which announcers will have the "privilege" of calling this week's action? Which referees will be tasked with keeping order in such a highly-anticipated contest? Here's a look at the announcers and referees for today's Jets-Jaguars game.
