ESPN says Sean McDonough is moving off "Monday Night Football" and back to calling college football games for the network.
McDonough had been calling the Monday night NFL game the past two seasons Jon Weeks Jersey , paired with Jon Gruden. ESPN will have an entirely new crew working the booth this season, with Gruden having returned to coaching with the Oakland Raiders.
ESPN said in a news release Friday night that McDonough signed a multiyear contract extension. The network says McDonough will do a high-profile college football game weekly throughout the season and call a College Football Playoff semifinal.
McDonough said in a statement Nick Kwiatkoski Jersey , "Being the 'Voice of Monday Night Football' was one of the great honors of my life," but he said he missed college football.
Joe Flacco didn’t play in the Hall of Fame Game last Thursday night Marqise Lee Jersey , so this Thursday’s visit from the Rams served as his first appearance of the preseason.
Flacco was in the game for just one possession and his short appearance did little to dispute word of a renewed fire to his game.
Flacco completed 5-of-7 passes for 71 yards, including a 30-yarder to Michael Crabtree and a 17-yarder to John Brown. He capped the drive with a six-yard touchdown to fullback Patrick Ricard. He also picked up four yards on a bootleg Peyton Manning Jersey , which may be an example of what offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg meant when he said the quarterback is “moving and grooving” this summer.
The caveat to the performance is that all of it came against a Rams defense playing without all but one of its starters, but Flacco looked as sharp as anyone from the Ravens could have hoped in his first game action of the year. Deandre Ayton Jersey ,
