A top-tier Week 7 matchup is set to unfold at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin as CJ Stroud and the AFC South leading Houston Texans (5-1) pay a visit to Green Bay to face off with Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (4-2) on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS.

The Packers are coming off a dominant 34-13 win over the Cardinals last week, while the Texans had ZERO issues beating the Patriots 41-21 in Week 6. Packers QB Jordan Love is tied for second (Joe Burrow, Bengals) in the NFL with 12 touchdown passes through Week 6 (only trailing Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield). Texans QB CJ Stroud has completed 68.3% of his passes through Week 6. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Jim Nantz teams up with analyst Tony Romo and reporter Tracy Wolfson for Sunday's Texans-Packers call on CBS.

These two original AFL  franchises are set to duel for the 51st time. The Bills bested the Titans back in 2022 in the teams' most recent showdown. The Titans came off their bye last week against the Colts, losing 20-17. Titans RB Tony Pollard had 93 rushing yards along with a 23-yard touchdown run in Week 6 vs. the Colts.

"The Battle of Ohio" is on the docket this weekend as Ja'Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) head north to Huntington Bank Field for a Week 7 divisional matchup with Nick Chubb and the Cleveland Browns (1-5) on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. As a side note, Browns RB Nick Chubb is set to make his return to the Browns lineup for the first time since suffering a gruesome knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season against the Steelers. The Bengals earned their second win of the 2024 season last week against the Giants, 17-7, on "Sunday Night Football". The Browns are searching for a win, as the team has dropped four straight games entering Week 7, including a 20-13 loss to the Eagles on the road in Philadelphia last week. 🎙 Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (analyst) and Aditi Kinkhabwala (reporter) provide commentary for CBS's coverage of the 102nd all-time installment of "The Battle of Ohio".

For those of you slated to receive a late CBS game (not an early game), coverage of these games will begin at 4:05 PM (ET). Two games create the late afternoon singleheader window for CBS on Sunday - Panthers vs. Commanders and Raiders vs. Rams. More details about these two late afternoon battles can be found in the forthcoming paragraphs.

Jaycee Horn and the struggling Carolina Panthers (1-5), losers of three straight games, take on Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Bobby Wagner and the NFC East leading Washington Commanders (4-2) on Sunday, October 20 at 4:05 PM (ET) on CBS. The Panthers are looking to rebound following last week's 38-20 loss to the Falcons. Panthers WR Diontae Johnson leads the team in receiving yards with 340 through Week 6. The Commanders are set to host Carolina for the first time since 2020. The Commanders seek to start 5-2 for the first time since 2018. Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is known for his durability, as the Commanders star wideout has played in every single contest since 2021. 🎙 Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) & Evan Washburn (reporter) will be on Sunday's Panthers-Commanders television call for CBS.

Alexander Mattison and the slumping Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) look to finally break through into the win column as the Raiders visit Jaylen McCullough and the Los Angeles Rams (1-4), fresh off a bye week, on Sunday, October 20 at 4:05 PM (ET) on CBS. To be quite honest, both teams are in DESPERATE need of a win this weekend. The Raiders are set to play their first game since the blockbuster trade that sent six-time Pro Bowler WR Davante Adams to the Jets earlier this week. The Rams last played in Week 5, a 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 29-of-45 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 5.
