Live coverage of the 2024 NFL season 🏈 continues with a Week 4 CBS doubleheader this Sunday, September 29. CBS has six games on the docket this weekend - Broncos-Jets, Vikings-Packers, Jaguars-Texans, Steelers-Colts, Chiefs-Chargers and Browns-Raiders. Continue reading for additional details about this week's installment of the NFL on CBS.

The Week 4 doubleheader on CBS starts with "The NFL Today" pregame show at 12:00 PM (ET). James Brown anchors the one-hour program from New York City, with analysts Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher & Matt Ryan. Additionally, insider Jonathan Jones joins the crew with news from across the league, late-breaking injury news before the "early" 1:00 PM (ET) kickoffs, and more.

The Week 4 CBS doubleheader starts at 1:00 PM (ET), when the early games are scheduled to get going. CBS will regionalize four games during this time period - Vikings-Packers, Broncos-Jets, Jaguars-Texans and Steelers-Colts. Let's dive into each one of these matchups.

Two longtime divisional foes renew their rivalry at Lambeau Field as Aaron Jones and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings (3-0) visit Christian Watson and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) on Sunday, September 29 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. Most of the country will be watching this contest as the "lead" early game. The Vikings are one of five teams still undefeated following the first three weeks with the Bills, Chiefs, Steelers & Seahawks being the other teams. Packers CB Jaire Alexander had a 35-yard pick six in the 30-14 win over the Titans last week. Obviously, Aaron Jones will be visiting Lambeau Field for the first time as a visiting player this weekend. Aaron spent his first seven seasons with the Packers before leaving to join the Vikings for this season. 🎙 Vikings-Packers will be nationally broadcast on CBS, featuring play-by-play commentator Kevin Harlan, analyst Trent Green and reporter Melanie Collins as the broadcast team.

Christian Kirk, Travis Etienne Jr., Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) look to FINALLY break through into the win column when they battle CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans (2-1) on Sunday, September 29 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. The Jaguars were crushed 47-10 on "Monday Night Football" vs. the Bills on Monday night while the Texans were curb stomped 34-7 against the Vikings in Week 3. In simple words, both teams need to bounce back and get things going. Last week in the loss to Minnesota, Stroud was sacked four times. Pass protection needs to improve to keep Stroud upright.  Despite the ugly loss to the Bills last week, Lawrence completed 31 of 38 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown. 🎙 Andrew Catalon calls the play-by-play action for Jaguars-Texans this weekend on CBS with analysts Jason McCourty and Tiki Barber in the booth. AJ Ross handles the reporting from the sidelines.

Patrick Surtain II and the Denver Broncos (1-2) proceed with their two-game East Coast swing with a Week 4 contest against Aaron Rodgers, Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and the New York Jets (2-1) on Sunday, September 29 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. The Broncos finally notched their first dub of 2024 last week vs. the Buccaneers, winning that game 26-7 thanks to decent play at the quarterback position by rookie signalcaller Bo Nix, who ran for a tuddy (touchdown). On the Jets side, RB Breece Hall has at least one touchdown in each of the Jets' first three games of the 2024 season. Jets QB Aaron Rodgers has five touchdown passes so far in the young season. The Jets last played on "Thursday Night Football" last week vs. the Patriots, where they easily cruised to a 24-3 win. 🎙 Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) and Evan Washburn (reporter) call Broncos-Jets from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for CBS.

Minkah Fitzpatrick and the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) chase their fourth straight victory to begin the 2024 season when they take on Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts (1-2) on Sunday, September 29 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. Steelers QB Justin Fields has had a good start to the 2024 season, leading his Steelers to a perfect 3-0 record following three weeks of action. Fields has completed 73.3% of his passes following Week 3. Last week, Fields made a connection with WR Calvin Austin III for a fourth-quarter score as the Steelers defeated the Chargers 20-10. Colts CB Jaylon Jones got two interceptions last week during the Colts' 21-16 win over the Bears. Jones is one of just two players around the league to have two picks in the same game to this point in 2024 (with Bills CB Ja'Marcus Ingram being the other one). 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Spero Dedes, analyst Adam Archuleta and field reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala take the call for the Steelers-Colts game on CBS.

Then, doubleheader coverage continues on CBS with the 4:25 PM (ET) national doubleheader window. CBS will regionalize two matchups during the late afternoon session - Chiefs-Chargers and Browns-Raiders. You can find out more information about these matchups in the following paragraphs.

Patrick Mahomes, Nick Bolton and the two-time defending Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) pay a visit to SoFi Stadium this week as they play Joey Bosa, Quentin Johnston and the Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) on Sunday, September 29 at 4:25 PM (ET) on CBS. To make a long story short, the entire country (for the most part, with the exceptions of Ohio & Nevada, etc., for obvious reasons) is receiving this game as the national doubleheader game. The Chiefs defeated the Falcons 22-17 last week on "Sunday Night Football" thanks to LB Nick Bolton's game-saving tackle on Falcons RB Bijan Robinson on a fourth down play. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has 224 touchdown passes so far in his amazing career with the Chiefs, needing just 14 more to pass the late great QB and Hall of Famer Len Dawson. The Chargers are fueled by a strong running game, featuring the career resurgence of RB J.K. Dobbins, who has 310 rushing yards through the first three Chargers games. 🎙 The Chiefs-Chargers game on CBS will have the lead broadcast team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) and Tracy Wolfson (reporter) on the call.

Deshaun Watson, Amari Cooper and the Cleveland Browns (1-2) head to Sin City for a Week 4 showdown with Alexander Mattison, Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders (1-2) on Sunday, September 29 at 4:25 PM (ET) on CBS. The Browns lost to the Giants 21-15 last week, while the Raiders dropped their Week 3 game to the Panthers 36-22. Despite losing to the Giants, don't blame WR Amari Cooper for the defeat. Cooper had 7 catches for 86 yards plus he scored multiple touchdowns during the contest. Browns CB Denzel Ward was responsible for two pass defensed vs. the Giants last week. Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II already has 747 passing yards after Week 3. With 253 more passing yards vs. the Browns on Sunday, Minshew II will hit 1,000 passing yards on the season, meaning Minshew II will become the 12th Raiders quarterback in franchise history to accumulate 1,000 passing yards in the team's first four regular season games. 🎙 CBS will televise the Browns-Raiders game, with Beth Mowins describing the game on play-by-play, analysts Ross Tucker and Jay Feely providing color commentary & reporter Tiffany Blackmon handling the sidelines.
