For the third straight week, the NFL heads to London as two teams will begin the Sunday slate early in the morning with a game across the pond.
Last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars picked up a huge win over the Philadelphia Eagles on a last-second field goal to improve to 4-1 on the year. In Week 6, Jacksonville remains in London and welcomes the division rival Houston Texans to England for an NFC South duel.
While ESPN continues to produce these London games, but after Dave Pasch, Kury Warner and Jason Kelce called the previous two contests, a different crew will be on the call this week. While this is the final London game of the year, the NFL does have a few more international games on the slate moving forward.
Here's who will be calling the Texans vs. Jaguars game this week.

Who are the Texans vs. Jaguars announcers
Bob Wischusen and Louis Riddick will be on the call for the Texans-Jaguars game in London, marking their first NFL games of the season.
Wischusen is a veteran ESPN announcer who has called college football games and NHL games in the past. On NFL Sundays, Wischusen typically serves as the New York Jets' primary radio announcer, but he will instead be overseas to call this game in Week 6.
Riddick, meanwhile, is a former NFL executive who has become one of the more recognizable football analysts for ESPN. He has worked with Wischusen for the last few years on college football games, but he has also called NFL games with different partners.
Wischusen and Riddick have years of chemistry, which is different from the previous London booth of Dave Pasch, Kurt Warner and Jason Kelce, who just started working together this year.
