Dallas Cowboys-Indianapolis Colts Announcer Pairing & Referee Assignment For Week 9

The Dallas Cowboys are on the road in Week 9 for a showdown against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Dallas faces a must-win situation, with the NFL trade deadline looming.

Dallas has had a brutal start to the season and has failed to live up to any of its preseason expectations, and hope is dwindling. If the team wants to turn things around, the Colts present a perfect opportunity to get a win at the exact right time.

If the Cowboys can find some positive momentum, Jerry Jones could be motivated to make a major play at the deadline to improve the league's worst defense. Of course, with a loss, it could be time for the Cowboys to officially pack it up and look forward to next season.

We will find out what the future for the Cowboys looks like in a matter of hours, with kickoff between the Cowboys and Colts set for 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX.

The announcers and referees can always become hot topics during a game, so it's always nice to be prepared for what you may see throughout the afternoon.

Last season, the home team had a win percentage of 75 percent, so the Cowboys could be facing an uphill battle on the road.
