Who are the announcers and referees for Patriots vs. Dolphins today?

Week 5 of the NFL season is upon us and will feature one of those games where something has got to give, as they say. The Miami Dolphins take on the New England Patriots in a matchup where records are identical at 1-3 and each team has been losers of three straight contests.

The Dolphins are hurting at many positions, but most significantly the quarterback position, and are getting set to start veteran Tyler Huntley for another game, as Tua Tagovailoa is still working his way back from injury. Miami is in desperate need of a win if they're going to hold onto any possible playoff hope for the remainder of the year.

Meanwhile, the Patriots don't have an injury at quarterback, but they might have a controversy brewing. Veteran Jacoby Brissett very well could be nearing his benching in favor of rookie first-round pick Drake Maye, and if the Dolphins defense steps up this weekend, they could be a reason why that switch ultimately happens.

For fans wanting a little more detail on today's game such as the announcers and referee crew, we've got you covered.

Referees for Patriots vs. Dolphins

Head Referee (Crew Chief): Adrian Hill

Adrian Hill has been with the league since 2010, which means this marks his 15th season on the job. Despite all of the experience, Hill does come with having caused trauma in the past, particularly for Detroit Lions fans.

Back in January of 2021, Hill flagged Lions defender Tracy Walker for roughing the passer on Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins. The call came on a 4th-and-goal and Minnesota would go on to score a touchdown after getting another shot. The Lions would lose the game by two points and Hill's reputation will forever be marked with an asterisk because of the "phantom call."
