In a year in which few things are normal, there will be some familiar things about NFL broadcasts this season.
Announcers will be in the stadiums, pregame shows will have their usual fill of banter and debate and the regular season will start on time.

“More people are home, all those that go to the game will be home watching which will add up in some markets plus there might not be as much group viewing,” he said.
