The home opener at Lambeau Field is always a special occasion. The Green Bay Packers host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 in what is an important game for both teams. FOX has the broadcast and is sending its No. 2 announce team for the game.

Green Bay and Indianapolis left Week 1 on the wrong side of one-score games, increasing the urgency to put a win on the board on Sunday afternoon.

The Colts have won the previous three meetings between the two teams, with the Packers' last victory coming all the way back in Aaron Rodgers' first season as a starter in 2008.

Here is all the information you need about the announcers and referees for the Packers-Colts game in Week 2.

Announcers for Packers vs. Colts

  • Lead play-by-play announcer: Joe Davis
  • Color commentator: Greg Olsen
  • Sideline reporter: Pam Oliver

The game will be broadcast on FOX in local markets. Joe Davis, Greg Olsen, and Pam Oliver are on the call. FOX is sending its No. 2 team to Lambeau Field, but many would argue that Olsen is the best color commentator in the business (and not Tom Brady).

With the No. 2 broadcast team in town for this game, the local coverage map extends fairly wide. Here are the areas where you can watch Packers-Colts on FOX.

Referees for Packers vs. Colts

Head Referee: Shawn Hochuli

Shawn Hochuli is entering his seventh season as a referee in the NFL. This will be his sixth Packers and sixth Colts game as the head referee. In fact, he was the referee the last time these two teams met four years ago in Indianapolis. It was an incredible game that went to overtime, with the Colts edging it 34-31.

Both teams will be pleased to know that Hochuli gave 183 penalties last season, the seventh-fewest in the NFL (per NFL Penalties). He was the official for the Chiefs-Ravens season opener last week, calling 13 penalties, the sixth-fewest in Week 1.
