Ian Eagle and Charles Davis have the call of the Patriots’ matchup with the Steelers Sunday on CBS. This is a good thing for viewers.
Eagle and Davis, who along with sideline reporter Evan Washburn are in their second season as CBS’s No. 2 NFL broadcast team, are an easy listen. They’re informed, on point, and humorous when a moment calls for it. They could easily be a No. 1 crew.
They’re also a welcome reminder of when Patriots broadcasts featured a high-end broadcast team practically every week. That is not the case anymore as Bill Belichick and the Patriots transition from a two-decade dynasty to whatever their next phase is.
