Eagles-Redskins: Start time, how to watch and stream

Eagles football is finally back, and fans tuning in to watch the Birds take on the Washington Redskins to kick off the 2019 season will hear a familiar voice broadcasting the game.

Handling the call at Lincoln Financial Field on FOX will be Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis, who worked two Eagles games last season, including the Birds’ heartbreaking loss to the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs. Davis spent some time around the Eagles during training camp, including the team’s joint scrimmage with the Baltimore Ravens, and came away impressed with the focus and drive he saw from quarterback Carson Wentz.

“It all comes back to Carson,” Davis told the Inquirer. “When you look at his raw numbers last year before getting hurt, they were pretty darn good. But they didn’t win enough — they were 6-7 in his starts. He wants to go back and show he and this roster are capable of getting back to the Super Bowl and winning it.”

In addition to his job at FOX, Davis is also the voice of Madden, providing commentary on the popular video game alongside Brandon Gaudin. As we know, players take their Madden ratings seriously (the Eagles are the game’s highest-rated team, though Wentz earned a low score), but Davis says he’s fortunate most players don’t typically associate him with the game. But Davis also said that at least one upset Hall of Famer pulled him aside to complain about his numbers in the Legends part of the game.

“I grabbed my phone, called someone at Madden and said, ‘Hey, this Hall of Famer wants to talk to you about his ratings. Here.’ and handed him the phone," Davis said. "Ten minutes later he handed me the phone back and said, ‘I think my rating’s going up.' "

Also on this afternoon’s broadcast will be Pam Oliver, who is working her 25th season for FOX as an NFL sideline reporter. According to Un/Necessary Sports Research, Redskins-Eagles will be Oliver’s 429th game, making her the longest-serving NFL sideline report by a large margin (next on the list is NBC’s Michele Tafoya at 268 games entering Sunday night).
