The San Diego Chargers kicked off the Monday Night Football season last year with a game against the Oakland Raiders and this season they will do the same, hosting the doubleheader of MNF when they take on the Houston Texans.
According to ESPN.com, the Chargers will have Chris Berman calling the play-by-play for the game after doing it for the first time last season against the Chargers. Berman will work alongside Trent Dilfer again for the game and that comes after the two called the Raiders and Chargers game from last season. Berman will work the play-by-play again and the two will get to test out their partnership again this week on Monday Night Football on Thursday when the Chargers take on the Chicago Bears.
"As it turns out, at least in the early goings, I am the national voice of the San Diego Chargers. And that's fine with me," Berman said. "I've long had warm feelings for the team, the powder blues and the city. I'm anxious to see the new-look Chargers under head coach Mike McCoy, who will very much be flying under the radar this year, which is probably perfect in the eyes of Philip Rivers and the rest of the team. The AFC could be a little more open this year than it normally is, and the Chargers, of course, hope they are somehow in the mix and become one of those teams that no one looks at until Halloween."
