The San Francisco 49ers will be hoping for a repeat performance in Week 11 after crushing the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10.
And they will have the same broadcast team on the call when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Levi's Stadium.
Joe Davis and Daryl Johnston will again be in the booth after calling the Niners' shellacking of the Jaguars, with Pam Oliver serving as the sideline reporter for Fox's number two crew.
It is the third time this season that Davis and Johnston have been assigned to a Niners game. They also called the 49ers' Week 1 blowout win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Niners fans will naturally be hoping this proves to be another Davis-Johnston game that San Francisco has won early in the fourth quarter. However, it is a little bemusing that 49ers-Buccaneers has not received the 'America's Game of the Week' treatment.
San Francisco will be expected to prevail and do so handily. Still, with the Niners leading the NFC West and in pursuit of the one seed and the Bucs only a game back of the NFC South lead, there is a lot more riding on this contest than the one assigned to Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen and sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.
Having called Dallas' entirely uninspiring defeat of the New York Giants and backup quarterback Tommy DeVito, Burkhardt and Olsen are on Cowboys duty again, this time to see them face a 1-8 Carolina Panthers team on the road.

Yes, the Cowboys have massive national appeal and there are the additional factors of Olsen calling a Panthers game and getting to provide analysis of the number one overall pick in Bryce Young, but the reality is there is not much at stake.
Carolina's season is over, while the Cowboys are two games back of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. The Eagles have the tiebreaker after their Week 9 win, which was also called by Burkhardt and Olsen.
So it's three Cowboys games in a row for the number one crew, while Davis and Johnson get the much more appealing game in the Bay Area.
Burkhardt and Olsen did call the 49ers' dominant home win over the Bucs last year in Brock Purdy's first start, but surely they wouldn't have minded being in the booth for his renewal of acquaintances with Tampa Bay. Their loss is Davis and Johnston's gain.
