"We're so very proud of our Thursday Night Football production and all the teams in front of and behind the camera. As families look to spend time together over the holiday weekend, we are excited to provide an opportunity for everyone to enjoy this new day of NFL action."
Charissa Thompson, Tony Gonzalez, Richard Sherman, Andrew Whitworth, Taylor Rooks and Michael Smith will be in the pregame broadcast crew for the Black Friday matchup. Broadcasters Al Michaels, Kirk Herbstreit and Kaylee Hartung will provide in-game coverage.
The Hall of Fame Game -- the first preseason game each year -- will be Aug. 4 in Canton, Ohio. The regular season schedule is expected to start Sept. 7.
