After a record-setting year, the same broadcasting teams are back to bring fans the 91st season of NFL football. A look at the NFL on TV

CRIS COLLINSWORTH and AL MICHAELS are back for a second year as a team on NBC's Sunday Night Football broadcasts. They will announce the 2010 Kickoff game on Thursday, September 9 (8:30 PM ET) that features the Super Bowl XLIV champion New Orleans Saints at home against the Minnesota Vikings in a rematch of last season's memorable NFC Championship Game.

NBC will carry two primetime games on Kickoff Weekend (Thursday and Sunday nights) for a season total of 18 primetime games (the opening Thursday night kickoff and 17 Sunday Night Football games), giving fans one more Sunday Night Football game than in the past.

FOX kicks off its 17th season covering the NFL and will televise Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback TROY AIKMAN, who won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys and was named Super Bowl XXVII MVP, will return to North Texas and call the game with his booth partner of nine years JOE BUCK.

FOX makes the launch of its Super Bowl season "official" with the addition of MIKE PEREIRA, the NFL's former vice president of officiating, to its NFL broadcasting roster serving as a multi-platform NFL rules analyst. Each Sunday, Pereira will be situated in his own control room at the FOX Network Center in Los Angeles, giving him visual access to all games played. If circumstances warrant a rules interpretation or explanation, he'll be available to interact with FOX NFL SUNDAY studio personalities, or communicate with NFL on FOX game crews at stadiums across the country, either on or off-camera.

ESPN brings back its dynamic trio of announcers -- JON GRUDEN, MIKE TIRICO and RON JAWORSKI -- for the 41st season of Monday Night Football. "Working with Mike, Jaws and our entire Monday Night Football team last season was the most fun I have had in years, and I am fired up about having the opportunity to see so many of the NFL's best players and coaches with another great schedule of games on ESPN this fall," says Gruden, who enters his second year in the booth.

ESPN's 17-game slate is highlighted by the first primetime game at New Meadowlands Stadium when the New York Jets host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, September 13 at 7:00 PM ET.

CBS marks its 51st season of NFL coverage. As a Halloween treat, CBS will broadcast for the third consecutive year the NFL International Series matchup at London's Wembley Stadium, which will feature the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos on October 31. CBS also kicks off the Thanksgiving tripleheader when the Detroit Lions host the New England Patriots on Thursday, November 25 at 12:30 PM ET.

NFL Network is your home for the holidays.

The eight-game Thursday Night Football package features the night cap of a Thanksgiving tripleheader when the Cincinnati Bengals visit the New York Jets on Thursday, November 25 (8:20 PM ET) as well as the Dallas Cowboys at the Arizona Cardinals on Christmas night, Saturday, December 25 (7:30 PM ET).

"NFL Network brings fans the first game of every weekend on Thursday nights, beginning November 11 when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football," says CHARLES COPLIN, NFL Network VP of programming. "Fans can enjoy another night of primetime action and we are excited to deliver eight games for the run to the playoffs including Thanksgiving and Christmas night specials."

SHOWTIME's Emmy Award winning Inside the NFL returns on Wednesday, September 8 at 9:00 PM ET/PT. Host JAMES BROWN joins analysts Cris Collinsworth, PHIL SIMMS and WARREN SAPP to breakdown all the action and debate the hottest topics from around the league each week. Produced in conjunction with NFL Films, world renowned filmmakers will infuse breathtaking, brilliant highlights from every game, every week, all in HD. New episodes air every Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET/PT through Super Bowl XLV

The highly successful "flexible scheduling" format, which debuted in the NFL in 2006, will again be utilized this year for Weeks 11-17.

In Weeks 11-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday night on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game will be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Monday nights.

The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot to conclude the season.

A flexible scheduling move will be announced at least 12 days before the game. For Week 17, the game may be announced six days prior. Flexible scheduling will ensure quality matchups on Sunday night in those weeks and give "surprise" teams a chance to play their way onto primetime.
