Who are the announcers and referees for Giants vs. Commanders today?

When the New York Giants (2-6) take on the Washington Commanders (6-2) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, fans will be tuning in to not only catch the action but also hear the voices guiding them through the game. This NFC East rivalry matchup is set for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on FOX, marking the teams' 186th regular-season meeting and their second of the 2024 season.

The Giants lead the all-time series with a record of 107-71-5, but Washington claimed victory in their last encounter, edging New York 21-18 in Week 2.

For Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, this is another chance to shine against a familiar opponent.

In his previous eight games against the Commanders, Jones boasts a 5-2-1 record and has been remarkably efficient, completing over 68% of his passes for 1,668 yards and 12 touchdowns. Despite New York’s up-and-down season, Jones and the Giants defense, currently ranked eighth in passing yards allowed, are eager to bring their best to this rivalry.

Here's who'll be throwing the laundry, and calling the game from the booth for today's division clash.

Referees for Giants vs. Commanders

Brad Allen Head Referee (Crew Chief)

Brad Allen will be the head referee for today's Week 9 NFC East division matchup. This is Allen's first time officiating the Giants in 2024. He last officiated the Giants in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders.

Allen is in his 11th season as an NFL ref.

In 2024, Brad Allen has officiated seven games as a referee, showing a trend toward fewer penalties per game compared to the league average. So far, he has called 80 penalties for 524 yards, averaging 11.43 penalties and 74.86 penalty yards per game.

This is below the league average of 12.98 penalties and 104.52 yards per game. His games have shown a slight home bias in penalties, with home teams receiving 45% of penalties and winning 71.43% of the time, though this win rate could reflect factors outside officiating alone.

Allen’s officiating style so far in 2024 leans towards fewer flags, suggesting a relatively “let-them-play” approach compared to other crews. This could play a role in the Giants vs. Commanders game, where both teams may have more freedom to establish their game plans without frequent stoppages.

Here is the rest of the crew that will be calling the game with Allen:

• Umpire: Duane Heydt
• Down Judge: Sarah Thomas
• Line Judge: Walter Flowers
• Field Judge: Rick Patterson
• Side Judge: Chad Hill
• Back Judge: Tyree Walton
