Tony Romo and the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys (5-4) travel to New Orleans, La., to take on Drew Brees and the NFC South-leading Saints (6-2) on NBC's Sunday Night Football. Coverage begins with Football Night in America at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.

All signs point to an offensive showdown between two of the league's top quarterbacks. Drew Brees (21) and Tony Romo (20) rank second and third, respectively, in touchdown passes this season. The Saints look to rebound from a difficult 26-20 loss last Sunday against the Jets, while the Cowboys are coming off a narrow victory over the Vikings. On the sidelines, Saints' defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will face his former team.

Calling Cowboys-Saints is seven-time Emmy Award-winner Al Michaels (play-by-play), in his 28th season as The Voice of the NFL's premier Primetime package; 14-time Emmy Award-winner Cris Collinsworth, who has won the Emmy for Outstanding Event Analyst in each of his four seasons in the Sunday Night Football booth; and Emmy Award-winning sideline reporter Michele Tafoya.

NBC's coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by Emmy Award-winning coordinating producer Fred Gaudelli and Emmy Award-winning director Drew Esocoff. Sunday Night Football has won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series for five consecutive years.

Football Night In America, the most-watched pre-game show in sports, is hosted by 25-time Emmy Award-winner Bob Costas, who will report from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, La. Costas will be joined on-site by Michaels, Collinsworth and two-time Super Bowl winner Hines Ward.

Dan Patrick co-hosts Football Night from NBC's famed Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Patrick will be joined by Super Bowl-winning head coach Tony Dungy, two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison, Peter King of Sports Illustrated, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk on NBCSN and NBCSports.com, and longtime NFL front office veteran and former NFL Executive of the Year Scott Pioli. Alex Flanagan will report from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. on the Broncos-Chargers game.
