CBS gets the two games this week again — Fox got Week 1 and Week 2 — while Fox has a single game, but they do have the Chiefs who are television gold. The afternoon only has four games this week which is fine, but the NFL really needs to figure out a way to balance out the late afternoon games. It gets more difficult because byes kick in this week. CBS 1:00 features two very interesting games where the Patriots travel to Buffalo in a matchup of AFC East undefeateds and the Ravens play the currently struggling Browns. Take a look at the rest of the television maps. Thanks to 506Sports.com, per usual.
Fox Single Game (1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT and 4:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT)
If you don’t get the Chiefs game at least you get to see game two of the Daniel Jones experience. The Carolina v. Houston game could be interesting if Kyle Allen performs like he did last week. Again, no work for Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.
CBS Early Game (1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT)
This is the best time frame of the week and that’s because of the Patriots-Bills and Browns-Ravens games. Tennessee v. Atlanta feature two teams who may need to win now to help any playoff hopes. It’s an early loser leaves town match, if you will.
CBS Late Game (4:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT)
Minnesota and Chicago are going to set passing games back a few years in this one. The Vikings have been better when Dalvin Cook is carrying the offense. The Bears still need to figure out what they are doing with Mitch Trubisky, If you don’t get that game, there’s not much else for you in the afternoon.
