Carrie Underwood’s 2018 Sunday Night Football Opening Includes 10 NFL Standouts

Carrie Underwood is set to return this fall for her sixth season as the voice of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, and her 2018 opener will be helped along by 10 of the NFL’s top players.

The sports stars, who among them comprise 19 Pro Bowl selections, five Super Bowl rings, and four first-round draft picks, all took part in shoots this summer to join in with Underwood's delivery. Among them are Super Bowl LII champions Carson Wentz, Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz, and Fletcher Cox from the Philadelphia Eagles; as well as standouts from the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks.

Fans should expect to get a look at Underwood's new moves on Sept. 6, when the NFL Kickoff showcases the Eagles versus the Atlanta Falcons. That will be followed by the regular Sunday Night Football game schedule, proceeding Sept. 9 when the Chicago Bears play the Green Bay Packers. Underwood will no doubt be wearing a variety of show-stopping outfits for her NFL post, but so far, it appears she'll be stunning in some skintight leather pants for starters.

Underwood is never not busy, and this proves true for the rest of 2018. In addition to her NFL duties, she will be releasing a new album called Cry Pretty on Sept. 14. The singer has already won accolades for her performances of the title track since it was released earlier this year. The album itself is the first that that the Oklahoma native has co-produced, and her first studio album for Capitol Records Nashville.
