Who are the announcers and referees for NY Jets vs Cardinals today?
By Justin Fried
The NY Jets will look to win their second consecutive game for the first time this season as they travel to Glendale to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10.
The Jets have had 10 days off since their thrilling Thursday night win over the Houston Texans last week. That extra rest has allowed the team to get healthier ahead of this week's matchup — an encouraging sign for the team's offensive line and Aaron Rodgers.
The Cardinals have plenty of momentum of their own, riding a three-game winning streak into this Sunday's game. Arizona sits alone atop the NFC West at 5-4 and will look to win their fourth straight game when they host the Jets.
The Jets need a win to salvage their season and keep their postseason hopes alive. Which announcers will Jets fans be listening to this week? How favorable is this week's officiating crew?

The Jets aren't on primetime this week, a seemingly rare occurrence for the team this season. Jets fans tuning in to CBS will be forced to listen to one of the supposed lower-tier announcer duos on the station, Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta.
This is the second consecutive non-primetime Jets game that will be called by Dedes and Archuleta. Dedes is a former radio announcer for the New York Knicks who has been calling games with Archuleta since 2017. Archuleta is a former NFL safety who has been calling games for CBS since 2013.
