For the second straight weekend, CBS Sports will have the rights to a doubleheader. This upcoming Sunday, November 17, CBS will present games from Week #11 of the 2024 NFL season. CBS has six games on their schedule this week, including: Ravens at Steelers (1:00 PM ET), Jaguars at Lions (1:00 PM ET), Colts at Jets (1:00 PM ET), Vikings at Titans (1:00 PM ET), Raiders at Dolphins (1:00 PM ET) and Chiefs at Bills (4:25 PM ET). Which doubleheader games is your local CBS station/market scheduled to show and which announcers are scheduled to call these games? Carry on with this article and the answer to the question will be revealed.
During the course of this week's NFL on CBS doubleheader, the "spotlight" games are Ravens vs. Steelers (1:00 PM ET) and Chiefs vs. Bills (4:25 PM ET). I will provide a full summary of these games right now, with a short wrap-up to come later on.
The "lead" early game (66% of Markets) on CBS this week takes place at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, as reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) take on T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2) in a Week #11 AFC North divisional matchup at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. Right now, the Steelers are the #3 seed in the AFC and the Ravens are the #5 seed in the AFC. Long story short, both teams are good and should be penciled in (barring anything crazy) as AFC playoff teams here in 2024. The Ravens entered the week with the league's top scoring offense (31.8 per points per game) and total offense (440.2 yards per game). The Steelers hold the second-ranked scoring defense (16.2 points allowed per game). Ravens QB Lamar Jackson leads the NFL with a 123.2 rating, ranks tied-first with 24 touchdown passes. The Steelers are currently on a four-game winning streak as they enter their first division game of the 2024 season. The Steelers have averaged 30.8 points per game since Week 6, the third most in the NFL during this time period. Steelers QB Russell Wilson is 3-0 as the Steelers' starting quarterback, after taking over the QB1 job in Week #7. 🎙 Sunday's Ravens-Steelers game will be nationally televised on CBS, with Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) & Evan Washburn (reporter) announcing the action.
The entire country (100% of Markets) will watch one of the most riveting AFC non-divisional rivalries in recent seasons at 4:25 PM ET this Sunday on CBS. Justin Reid and the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) are set to battle Dorian Williams and the Buffalo Bills (8-2) in a re-match of last season's AFC Divisional Playoff game. In fact, the Bills & Chiefs have met in postseason play in three of the past four seasons (2020-21 & 2023, with 2022 being the exception). Currently, these are the top two seeds in the AFC playoff picture. The Chiefs have won 15 straight games dating back to last season, including the postseason. If the Chiefs win on Sunday, they become the fifth time since 1990 to win 16 consecutive games, including the playoffs, joining the 2003-04 Patriots (21 straight wins), 2010-11 Packers (19 straight wins), 2007-08 Patriots (18 straight wins) & 1997-98 Broncos (18 straight wins). Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has 98 career wins (including the playoffs), including Tom Brady (100 wins) for the most by a quarterback in his first eight seasons in NFL history. Bills QB Josh Allen has 71 career regular season victories and can surpass Joe Flacco (72) for the third most regular season wins by a quarterback in his first seven NFL seasons (only Russell Wilson, 75 wins and Patrick Mahomes, 74 wins have more). 🎙 CBS's lead team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), former NFL quarterback Tony Romo (analyst) and Tracy Wolfson (reporter) are scheduled for the 4:25 PM ET Chiefs-Bills call.
In fact, CBS will enhance Sunday's Chiefs-Bills game broadcast by sending the entire "The NFL Today" pregame show to Orchard Park, New York ahead of the Chiefs-Bills game (4:25 PM ET). Beginning at 12:00 PM (ET), a special edition of "The NFL Today" will be broadcast live from Lot 6 outside Highmark Stadium. Veteran host James Brown anchors the one-hour show, with analyst and three-time Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt, analyst and Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher, analyst and former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson and analyst and 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan. Insider Jonathan Jones joins the pregame gang on-site in Orchard Park with the latest NFL news and information.
Once "The NFL Today" wraps up, it's time to head to the NFL game sites for the first game of the Week #11 CBS doubleheader. At 1:00 PM ET, CBS will regionalize FIVE (!!) games to markets across the country - including Ravens at Steelers (66% of Markets), Jaguars at Lions (10% of Markets), Colts at Jets (10% of Markets), Vikings at Titans (8% of Markets) & Raiders at Dolphins (6% of Markets). I will discuss each one of these five matchups in depth (sans Ravens-Steelers).
Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) are set to visit George Pickens and the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2) in a must-see AFC North division showdown on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. 🎙 Ian Eagle calls the play-by-play, joined by analyst Charles Davis in the booth and reporter Evan Washburn down on the field.
Travis Etienne Jr. and the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-8) make a trip up North this weekend to face Amon-Ra St. Brown and the current #1 seed in the NFC, and the Detroit Lions (8-1) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Jaguars have lost three straight games entering Week #11, basically all but eliminating them from the playoffs. The Jaguars lost a close one to the Vikings, last week, 12-7. Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen aims for the third straight game on the road with 0.5+ sacks. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. ties for lead among rookies with 607 receiving yards & ranks 2nd with five receiving touchdowns. The Lions are currently the best team in the NFC, bringing in a decent 8-1 record with them into this week's game. The Lions came back from a 23-7 deficit to take down the Texans, 26-23, on "Sunday Night Football" last week. Lions QB Jared Goff has 2+ TD passes in six of his past seven starts. Lions DB Brian Branch led the team with season-high 10 tackles & had 2 pass deflections & tackle for loss in Week 10 vs. the Texans. 🎙 Sunday's Jaguars-Lions game will be seen nationally on CBS, as Kevin Harlan (play-by-play), former NFL quarterback Trent Green (analyst) and reporter Melanie Collins team up for the broadcast call.
Jonathan Taylor and his Indianapolis Colts (4-6) strive to improve their division and AFC Wild Card playoff changes against Davante Adams and the New York Jets (3-7) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. Despite the Colts' recent three-game skid, the Colts are still very much in play for a playoff spot (likely a wild card berth). The Colts were defeated 30-20 by the Bills in Week 10. Colts WR Josh Downs had 7 catches for 72 yards in Week 10 vs. the Bills. Colts LB Zaire Franklin leads the NFL with 105 tackles in 2024 following the first ten weeks of the season. As for the Jets, it has been another case of high expectations and low achievement. The Jets were completely dismantled by the Cardinals, 31-6, last week out in Arizona. Jets WR Garrett Wilson has 5+ catches in eight straight games, the longest active streak in the NFL. Jets DL Quinnen Williams strives for his 4th straight game with a tackle for a loss. 🎙 Sunday's Colts-Jets game is set to be shown over the national airwaves on CBS. Andrew Catalon handles play-by-play with former NFL running back Tiki Barber and Jason McCourty serving as Catalon's co-analysts in the booth. AJ Ross reports from the sidelines.
Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings (7-2) attempt to get their third straight win against this week's opponent, Calvin Ridley and the Tennessee Titans (2-7), on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Vikings own one of the NFC's three wild card spots while the Titans are basically out of the playoff picture, barring a miracle. The Vikings beat the Jaguars 12-7 last week despite the fact that Minnesota had ZERO offensive touchdowns (four John Parker Romo field goals turned out to be the difference). Vikings WR Aaron Jones had 101 scrimmage yards (88 rush, 13 rec.) in Week 10 vs. the Jaguars. Vikings CB Camryn Bynum picked up his career high third interception last week vs. the Jaguars. The Titans missed out on a victory last week, losing 27-17 to the Chargers. Titans RB Tyjae Spears led the team with season-high 47 rush yards last week vs. the Chargers. Titans RB Tony Pollard aims for 7th in a row with 60+ scrimmage yards. 🎙 This week's Vikings-Titans broadcast team on CBS has Spero Dedes calling play-by-play, former NFL safety Adam Archuleta analyzing the action, & Aditi Kinkhabwala functioning as a sideline reporter.
Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) take the field against Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins (3-6) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. Unfortunately, time is quickly running out for Las Vegas and Miami to keep their postseason hopes alive. A couple of weeks ago, the Raiders lost to Bengals 41-24 over in Cincinnati (prior to the team's bye last week). Raiders RB Zamir White had his first rushing touchdown of the season in Week 9 vs. the Bengals. Raiders TE Brock Bowers (rookie) had 5 catches for 45 yards & TD in Week 9 vs. the Bengals. The Dolphins are feeling great after Monday's surprising win over the Rams, 23-15, on "Monday Night Football". Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 28 attempts (71.4%) for 207 yards & TD last week vs. the Rams. Dolphins DE Calais Campbell had 2 pass deflections and third sack of the season in Week #10. 🎙 Play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy, analyst and former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker, analyst and former NFL kicker Jason Feely and sideline reporter Tiffany Blackmon will have Sunday's Raiders-Dolphins call on CBS.
The CBS doubleheader continues at 4:25 PM ET as the entire nation will see Taron Johnson and the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills (8-2) welcome Travis Kelce and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) to town. 🎙 Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson will broadcast Sunday's highly anticipated top-tier Chiefs-Bills AFC clash.
