Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate): Pat McAfee announced today that he, his crew and Dan Orlovsky will host a “Field Pass” alternate broadcast for the Super Bowl, as well as select Monday Night Football games beginning Oct. 19, in partnership with ESPN and the NFL.
The move gives ESPN another companion feed alongside its traditional game coverage, extending the McAfee-led personality-driven broadcast style to a slate of high-profile matchups. Starting with the Oct. 19 MNF telecast, the alternate presentation becomes a regular option for viewers through the season and on into the biggest game of the year.
The announcement continues ESPN's push to offer multiple ways to watch its marquee NFL windows, pairing the main broadcast with a more casual, personality-driven alternative. It also keeps McAfee's brand tied to the league's showcases as the network rolls out the alternate feed later this month.
