In this week's edition of the NFL on CBS: Field Pass, I will talk about this Sunday's broadcast schedule on CBS, from "The NFL Today" at 12:00 PM ET through the late 4:05 PM ET singleheader game (Denver at Las Vegas). Additionally, we will preview each game so you have a basic idea of what to look for while you watch and finish things out with the distribution breakdown of the NFL on CBS matchups this week. With that in mind, let's get into it!
Sunday's NFL on CBS broadcast day begins with "The NFL Today" live from New York City at 12:00 PM ET on CBS. Veteran host James Brown anchors the program alongside a full cast of studio analysts, including Hall of Famer Bill Cowher, former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson, three-time Defensive Player of the Year JJ Watt and 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan. Insider Jonathan Jones joins the program to discuss the latest news and information from around the league.
This week on "The NFL Today", the fellas chat about the current state of the AFC #1 seed race, with Pittsburgh, Kansas City & Buffalo at the top of the mountain. Charles Davis joins from Charlotte ahead of Chiefs-Panthers. Plus, now that Daniel Jones has been released by the Giants, the guys will have a timely discussion about where the Giants should go from here.
Once "The NFL Today" wraps up, most of you will get an early afternoon singleheader presentation on CBS, with coverage starting at 1:00 PM ET for that particular timeslot. CBS will regionalize four games in this 1:00 PM ET window for the audience slated to receive their only CBS game for Sunday in the early afternoon. These games include Chiefs at Panthers (55% of Markets), Buccaneers at Giants (11% of Markets), Titans at Texans (9% of Markets) & Patriots at Dolphins (8% of Markets). We will briefly touch on each of these matchups, so you guys have some knowledge going into these games.
Patrick Mahomes and two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) hit the road this week to face off against Jadeveon Clowney and the Carolina Panthers (3-7) on Sunday, November 24 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Chiefs are coming off their first loss of this 2024 season last week at Buffalo, dropping that game 30-21. The Panthers are well rested in the wake of Week 11 bye. Before their bye, the Panthers picked up two consecutive weeks, defeating the Saints in Week 9 and the Giants in Munich, Germany in Week 10. Now, the Panthers attempt to upset the Chiefs and grab their third straight win. The Chiefs possess the top seed in the AFC at 9-1, marking the seventh time in franchise history and fourth under current head coach Andy Reid (2013-present) that Kansas City has posted nine wins in the first ten games of a regular season schedule. With another victory this year, Reid will get his 19th 10-win season as a NFL head coach, becoming the third coach all-time to achieve this feat, joining Bill Belichick (20 seasons with 10 or more wins and Hall of Famer Don Shula (20). The Panthers' defense has been terrible this season, giving up an average of 31.0 points per game. 🎙 Sunday's Chiefs-Panthers game will be nationally broadcasted on CBS, with the broadcast team of Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) and Evan Washburn (reporter) set for the call.
Two struggling NFC teams meet in Week 12 as Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) visit the New York Giants (2-8) on Sunday, November 24 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Buccaneers have lost four straight games prior to the team's bye last week, having been defeated by the 49ers 23-10 in Week 10. The Giants season has been a complete disaster, suffering five straight defeats before the team's bye in Week 11, losing a tight one to the Panthers 20-17 in Munich, Germany back in Week 10. Despite Tampa Bay's subpar 4-6 record, a win for the Buccaneers would place them just one game behind Atlanta for first place in the NFC South (Atlanta is on bye this week). Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield needs one touchdown pass to have four seasons with at least 25 touchdown passes. Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving had 87 scrimmage yards (73 rush, 14 rec.) & 4th rushing touchdown of the season in Week 10 vs. the 49ers. The Giants try to spoil Tampa Bay's postseason dreams here in Week 12. The Giants begin life without QB Daniel Jones, who the team released on Friday. In Jones' place comes Tommy DeVito, the second year undrafted player from Illinois. In nine career games (six starts), he has a 64% comp pct. (114 of 178), 1,101 pass yards, 9 TD's (8 pass, 1 rush) vs. 3 INT's & 89.2 rating. Is 2-0 in 2 career home starts with TD pass vs. 0 INT's & 100+ QB ratings for each start. 🎙 Sunday's Buccaneers-Giants game will be nationally televised on CBS, with play-by-play announcer Andrew Catalon, analyst and former NFL running back Tiki Barber, analyst and Super Bowl champion Jason McCourty and reporter AJ Ross announcing the action.
A pair of AFC South teams clash in Week 12 as Tony Pollard and the Tennessee Titans (2-8) take on Nico Collins and the AFC South leaders, the Houston Texans (7-4), on Sunday, November 24 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Titans are track to miss the postseason for the third straight season, coming into Sunday's record with an abysmal 2-8 record. Last week, the Titans were conquered by the Vikings 23-13 in Nashville at Nissan Stadium. The Texans are one of the six AFC teams to have seven or more wins coming into Week 12. Last week, the Texans grabbed a much-needed 34-10 win over the Cowboys on "Monday Night Football". Houston tries to keep their AFC South division record perfect (3-0 so far). Titans WR Tyler Boyd had 8 catches for 117 yards in his last game vs. the Texans (11/12/23 with Cincinnati). Titans DT Jeffery Simmons had his second forced fumble & fumble recovery last week vs. the Vikings. Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 23 of 34 attempts (67.6%) for 257 yards last week vs. the Cowboys. Texans S Jalen Pitre had team-high nine tackles & first forced fumble of season last week. 🎙 This week's Titans-Texans game broadcast on CBS features the commentary team of Tom McCarthy (play-by-play), former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker (analyst), former NFL kicker Jay Feely (analyst) & Amanda Balionis (reporter).
An AFC East rivalry is set to heat up in South Florida as Rhamondre Stevenson and the New England Patriots (3-8) take a trip to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida for a divisional confrontation with Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins (4-6) on Sunday, November 24 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. The Patriots enter Week 12 play on a losing note following last week's 28-22 loss to the Rams. New England's season is basically over, barring a miracle. However, for head coach Mike McDaniel and his Dolphins, they are attempting to pull off an implausible late season turnaround. The Dolphins have won two straight games, victories over the Los Angeles Rams (Week 10) and the Las Vegas Raiders (Week 11). Potentially, with a Miami win Sunday and a Denver loss to Las Vegas, the Dolphins could be a half game out of a Wild Card spot with six weeks left. Patriots CB Marcus Jones played his first-ever offensive snaps last week vs. the Rams, recording a five-yard rush in the second half of that game. Patriots QB Drake Maye (rookie) is averaging 9.3-yards per rush with 28 rushing attempts for 260 yards. Since Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa's return in Week 8 from a concussion, the Dolphins offense appears to look and play better. A 17-year NFL veteran, Dolphins DT Calais Campbell has played in 254 career games. 🎙 This week's Patriots-Dolphins game will be broadcasted on CBS, as Spero Dedes calls the play-by-play alongside game analyst Adam Archuleta and reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala.
For those of you receiving a late afternoon singleheader game on CBS this Sunday instead, coverage of the Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders game begins at 4:00 PM ET (with kickoff scheduled for 4:05 PM ET). 17% of the country is scheduled to receive this AFC West tilt, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver & Las Vegas. Continue reading for further information about Broncos-Raiders.
We tour the AFC West this weekend with Las Vegas, Nevada serving as the backdrop for a Week 12 showdown as rookie quarterback Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos (6-5) come into town to square off against Ameer Abdullah and the Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) on Sunday, November 24 at 4:05 PM ET on CBS. The Broncos are having a great start in 2024, as the team looks to qualify for the postseason for the first time since their Super Bowl winning season of 2015 (since 2016, the Broncos have posted just one winning record, which was ironically enough in 2016). Last week, the Broncos crushed the Falcons at home 38-6. It's been a long season for Las Vegas, as the team has dropped six straight games coming into this week's game. The Raiders haven't won a contest since Week 4 (a 20-16 win over the Browns). Broncos RB Javonte Williams led team with 87 scrimmage yards last week vs. the Falcons. WR Courtland Sutton aims for his fifth in a row with 6+ catches & 70+ rec. yards. Raiders S Tre'Von Moehrig aims for 10th in a row with 5+ tackles. Raiders DE Maxx Crosby had 5 tackles last week vs. the Dolphins. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kevin Harlan, analyst and former NFL quarterback Trent Green and sideline reporter Melanie Collins team up for Sunday's Broncos-Raiders game on CBS.
