It’s a new era for ESPN and the NFL with Troy Aikman and Joe Buck

ESPN will also introduce a new broadcast team featuring Troy Aikman and Joe Buck. Aikman spent the last 22 years with FOX as an analyst, while Buck has called NFL games for the last 28 seasons. The 2022 NFL season will be Buck and Aikman’s 21st together.

Aikman and Tony Romo, both former Cowboys quarterbacks, are arguably the most high-profile NFL analysts on the airwaves.

Aikman will also be the first Hall of Fame player to become a member of the Monday Night broadcast team since MNF moved from ABC to ESPN in 2006.

Of note, he will be the first former Cowboys QB in the Monday booth since Don Meredith, who was part of the first-ever MNF team with two stints beginning in to 1970-1973 and 1977-1984.

NFL Spin Zone has selected four prime-time games that will draw a lot of eyes to the 2022 Monday Night Football schedule. Those are absolutely must-see-tv, sure to draw huge viewership numbers and a ton of debate.
