Giants vs. Cowboys announcers, TV channel, referees for Thanksgiving Day game

The New York Giants are spiraling with a dismal 2-9 record, reeling from a humiliating blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Despite an optimistic bye week and quarterback changes, the Giants continue their freefall, losing six straight games and showing little sign of improvement.

Tommy DeVito’s first extended opportunity as the starting quarterback has done little to change the team’s trajectory. The undrafted fan favorite struggled against Tampa Bay and now faces another tough challenge as the Giants travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving clash against the Cowboys. With a divided locker room and morale at an all-time low, the Giants must find answers to avoid complete implosion.

As the Giants prepare to take on their divisional rivals, here’s everything you need to know about the announcers and officiating crew for today’s game.

Referee Crew for Giants vs. Cowboys

Brad Rogers – Head Referee (Crew Chief)

Brad Rogers is the head referee for today’s game, now in his eighth season as a referee. Known for his balanced officiating, Rogers has developed a reputation for keeping games under control while maintaining the flow of play.

This season, Rogers' crew has called 146 penalties across 11 games, averaging 13.27 penalties and 105.82 penalty yards per game. Both figures are slightly above league averages (12.74 penalties and 102.64 yards), so players should expect a moderately flagged contest. However, Rogers and his team have shown no consistent bias toward home or away teams, distributing penalties fairly evenly.

• Referee: Brad Rogers
• Umpire: Bryan Neale
• Down Judge: Kent Payne
• Line Judge: Kevin Codey
• Field Judge: Joe Blubaugh
• Side Judge: Anthony Jeffries
• Back Judge: Greg Yette

While Rogers' crew tends to call games with a slightly higher flag count, their consistency and experience should ensure fair play and minimal controversy in this high-stakes matchup.
