Thursday, September 19, 2024

• 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google begins on Sunday, September 22, with a four-game lineup across the ESPN family of networks (three games on ESPN, and one game on ABC).

• All first-round WNBA playoff series are best-of-three series (meaning that a team that wins two games in this mini-series will advance to the next round).

• Caitlin Clark, Breanna Stewart, Jewell Lloyd, A'ja Wilson, Diana Taurasi and more to be featured during first round action.

The 28th WNBA season continues this weekend, Sunday, September 22, with the advent of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google. The regular season wrapped up on Thursday, and now the top eight teams from across the WNBA (regardless of conference) will compete for the championship of the league 🏆. In addition to this, ESPN is proud to exclusively present each and every game of this year's WNBA Playoffs.

In this year's postseason tournament, we will have the two teams that battled each other in last year's WNBA Finals, the defending two-time WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty, who are the No. 1 seed in this year's playoffs. Plus, the rookie sensation Caitlin Clark makes her WNBA Playoffs debut for the Indiana Fever.

The commentator roster for the 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google on ESPN/ABC is set to be led by the outstanding lead commentary crew of play-by-play announcer Ryan Ruocco, analyst and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Rebecca Lobo, and reporter and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Holly Rowe. In the studio, host Elle Duncan holds down the fort alongside analysts Andraya Carter, Carolyn Peck, LaChina Robinson and Chiney Ogwumike. Furthermore, more top-tier talent will be showcased throughout the playoffs, when needed.

On Sunday, September 22, the second season of the WNBA begins in earnest with the arrival of the postseason. Sunday will have a quadrupleheader of postseason action. So, four times the WNBA basketball playoff action! The 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google starts off at 1:00 PM (ET) on ESPN when Rhyne Howard and the #8 seed Atlanta Dream visit Breanna Stewart and the #1 seed New York Liberty. The Dream made the postseason by winning their regular season finale against the Liberty (ironically enough). The Liberty, holders of the best record in the WNBA this season, begin their quest to return to the WNBA Finals. Pam Ward handles play-by-play duties with analyst Monica McNutt and reporter Arielle Chambers.

Once Game 1 of the Dream-Liberty series concludes, flip over to ABC at 3:00 PM (ET) as single season assist record holder Caitlin Clark and the #6 seed Indiana Fever travel to Connecticut for a matchup against Alyssa Thomas the #3 seed Connecticut Sun. In an obvious case of irony, Clark made her WNBA debut against this same Connecticut Sun team that Clark will now face as a postseason opponent. The lead WNBA crew of Ryan Ruocco (play-by-play), Rebecca Lobo (analyst) and Holly Rowe (reporter) will have the call.

ESPN will take over the airwaves with additional WNBA postseason action at 5:00 PM (ET) as three-time WNBA champion Diana Taurasi, one of the best women's basketball players to ever do it, leads her #7 seed Phoenix Mercury against Naphessa Collier and the #2 seed Minnesota Lynx. Taurasi looks to add to her already stacked future Hall of Famer résumé. Play-by-play commentator Michael Grady narrates the action with analyst Debbie Antonelli and reporter Brooke Weisbrod. As a side note, Grady also serves as the current television play-by-play voice of the Minnesota Timberwolves basketball team.

To cap off the first day of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs presented by Google, ESPN will present Game 1 of the series between Seattle Storm (#5 seed) and the defending two-time WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces (#4 seed) at 10:00 PM (ET). Jewell Loyd and the Storm look to throw a monkey wrench into the plans of A'ja Wilson and her Aces team, as Las Vegas looks to win their third straight WNBA championship. Angel Gray, LaChina Robinson and Taylor Tannebaum broadcast the game nationally on ESPN.

To complement ESPN's WNBA Playoffs game coverage, ESPN will also offer regular editions of WNBA Countdown presented by Google, their official pregame show of record. Hosted by Elle Duncan, the first playoff version of WNBA Countdown presented by Google will air on Sunday, September 22 at 2:30 PM (ET) on ABC, prior to Game 1 of the Fever-Sun series. The show returns for a second airing that Sunday, this time at 4:30 PM (ET) on ESPN, to preview Game 1 of the Mercury-Lynx series.

NFL on CBS: Field Pass | Broadcast Schedule, Distribution Breakdown | 2024 Regular Season: Week 3 - Sunday, September 22 (Regional Coverage)

Monday, September 16, 2024

• The 2024 NFL on CBS season continues on Sunday, September 22 with five games during Week 3: Chargers vs. Steelers, Bears vs. Colts, Texans vs. Vikings, Dolphins vs. Seahawks & Panthers vs. Raiders. A regional afternoon for CBS as you will receive a game at either 1:00 PM (ET) or 4:00 PM (ET).

• "The NFL Today" prepares viewers for the Week 3 Sunday afternoon slate on CBS, beginning at 12:00 PM (ET) with host James Brown, analyst Nate Burleson, analyst Bill Cowher, analyst JJ Watt, analyst Matt Ryan & insider Jonathan Jones reporting from New York City.

• Multiple games on the Week 3 CBS slate featuring teams that are undefeated so far in this young season: Chargers (2-0) vs. Steelers (2-0) and Texans (2-0) vs. Vikings (2-0).

• Current NFL rushing leader J.K. Dobbins and the undefeated Los Angeles Chargers (2-0) continue their two-game road trip out East versus T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. The winner of Chargers-Steelers improves to 3-0 and increases their chances of making the postseason.

• De'Von Achane and the Miami Dolphins (1-1) travel to Seattle to play DK Metcalf and the Seattle Seahawks (2-0) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:05 PM (ET) on CBS. The Dolphins start life without their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, who is now injured reserve following a concussion last week against the Bills.

The 2024 NFL regular season continues this week, and CBS Sports plans to show regional coverage this Sunday, September 22, during Week 3 of the regular season. This marks the second time that CBS is regionalizing games regionally, following Week's 1 regional coverage. Viewers on CBS will receive one of five games this week (check the bottom of this article or your local listings): Chargers at Steelers (1:00 PM ET), Texans at Vikings (1:00 PM ET), Bears at Colts (1:00 PM ET), Dolphins at Seahawks (4:05 PM ET) &  Panthers at Raiders (4:05 PM ET). Read on for more information about the Week #3 edition of the NFL on CBS.

The Week 3 NFL on CBS schedule begins at 12:00 PM (ET), with another edition of the iconic pregame show "The NFL Today". Live from New York, James Brown anchors the one-hour program, working alongside analysts Nate Burleson, JJ Watt, Matt Ryan & Bill Cowher. Insider Jonathan Jones joins the show to provide the latest news and notes from across the league, as the 1:00 PM (ET) kickoffs approach.

The regional coverage then begins at 1:00 PM (ET), for viewers slated to receive a 1:00 PM (ET) kickoff. CBS plans to have three games in that window to be regionally televised - Chargers at Steelers, Texans at Vikings, Bears at Colts. I will discuss these games in greater detail in the paragraphs to follow.

The Los Angeles Chargers (2-0), led by the NFL's current rushing leader J.K. Dobbins (266 yards), look to continue their early season run of form when they visit Alex Highsmith and the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. The Chargers are coming off a dominant 26-3 win over the Panthers, fueled by their running game with J.K. Dobbins, two touchdowns from wide receiver Quentin Johnston & good defensive play. The Steelers haven't wowed anybody in particular so far, but their defense is a major storyline. In two games, the Steelers' defense has only allowed one offensive/defensive touchdown. The Steelers squeezed out a tight win in Denver last week 13-6. 🎙 This week's Chargers-Steelers game on CBS features the top NFL on CBS commentary team - Jim Nantz, Tony Romo & Tracy Wolfson - on the call.

Following a huge victory defending the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers last week, Sam Darnold, Camryn Bynum and the Minnesota Vikings (2-0) have another solid team to play against when second year quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans (2-0) visit U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis for an important Week 3 matchup on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. Like I mentioned earlier, this is one of the two CBS matchups this week featuring undefeated clubs - this one & Chargers-Steelers. The Texans kept their undefeated status intact when a primetime win over the Bears last Sunday, 19-13. Stroud went 23-for-36 for 260 yards and threw one touchdown pass to WR Nico Collins during the Bears game. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Ian Eagle calls the action with analyst Charles Davis and reporter Evan Washburn.

Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Tremaine Edmunds and the Chicago Bears (1-1) hit the road for the second straight weekend in a row when they go to Indianapolis for a early season clash with Jonathan Taylor and the winless Indianapolis Colts (0-2) on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on CBS. The Bears play an AFC South opponent for the third straight week, following two previous games vs. the Titans & Texans. The Colts return home to Lucas Oil Stadium following a close 16-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers last week. For Indianapolis, this feels like a must-win game for them, considering the fact that they are already two games behind the Texans for first place in the division. 🎙 Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), Super Bowl LII champion Jason McCourty (analyst), three-time Pro Bowler and former NFL running back Tiki Barber (analyst) & reporter AJ Ross handle the game broadcast nationally on CBS.

Then, later on, at 4:05 PM (ET), CBS will air a late afternoon regional game for viewers scheduled to only get a 4:05 PM (ET) CBS contest on Sunday. CBS will have two games during this timeslot - Dolphins at Seahawks & Panthers at Raiders. Further coverage on these two matchups will be provided in the paragraphs following this one.

Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and the Miami Dolphins (1-1) are now set to play their first away contest of this 2024 season, flying to Seattle, Washington, to compete against Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and the undefeated Seattle Seahawks (2-0) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:05 PM (ET) on CBS. The Dolphins look for their first victory over the Seahawks since 2012. In addition, the Dolphins look to reset themselves following the concussion of their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, last week vs. the Bills. Meanwhile, the Seahawks look pretty darn good to begin the 2024 campaign, their first one led by new head coach Mike Macdonald (replacing Pete Carroll, who left the HC position following the 2023 season). Last week, the Seahawks defeated the Patriots, 23-20 in overtime to move to 2-0. DK Metcalf had 10 receptions for 129 yards, including a touchdown. Leonard Williams had a ridiculous eight quarterback hits. 🎙 The Dolphins-Seahawks game will be televised by CBS, with Kevin Harlan, Trent Green & Melanie Collins on the call.

The Carolina Panthers (0-2), coming off losses to the Panthers and Chargers, made a significant quarterback change this week as the veteran quarterback Andy Dalton was promoted to the starting job, replacing fellow QB Bryce Young, who is being benched. Dalton is ironically 3-0 versus the Panthers' Week 3 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, as the Panthers travel to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to tangle with the Raiders (1-1) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:05 PM (ET) on CBS. The Raiders play their 2024 home opener following two straight road games - a loss to the Chargers in Week 1, and a win over the Ravens in Week 2. 🎤 Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (analyst) & Aditi Kinkhabwala (reporter) are on the late afternoon CBS call from Las Vegas.

• An exciting interconference matchup in Arlington as reigning league MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (0-2) visit Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX.

Coverage of the 2024 NFL regular season continues this weekend on FOX Sports, with FOX having the rights to a Week 3 doubleheader on Sunday, September 22 (games starting at 1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET). FOX has a full seven-game schedule for your viewing enjoyment. Games in the early window include Packers at Titans (1:00 PM ET), Giants at Browns (1:00 PM ET), Eagles at Saints (1:00 PM ET) & Broncos at Buccaneers (1:00 PM ET). Games in the America's Game of the Week window include Ravens at Cowboys (4:25 PM ET), 49ers at Rams (4:25 PM ET) & Lions at Cardinals (4:25 PM ET). Let's dive deeper into the Week #3 schedule for the NFL on FOX in the following sections.

The Week #3 schedule for the NFL on FOX starts two hours before the games do, at 11:00 AM (ET) with "FOX NFL Kickoff", live from Los Angeles, California. Charissa Thompson hosts the program with Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, four-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, and four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick, and insider Peter Schrager. Colin Cowherd and Cooper Manning contribute features.

The Week #3 NFL on FOX pregame coverage continues at 12:00 PM (ET) with "FOX NFL Sunday", also originating from Los Angeles. Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw co-host the show, with Hall of Famers Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Howie Long serving as analysts. Insider Jay Glazer rounds out the cast with news, information and late-breaking injury updates before the Sunday contests kick off.

The doubleheader begins on FOX at 1:00 PM (ET) with regional coverage of four games: Eagles at Saints, Giants at Browns, Packers at Titans and Broncos at Buccaneers. We will briefly discuss each of these four matchups over the next subsections of this article.

Following an unbelievable meltdown in the final minutes of "Monday Night Football" last week vs. the Falcons, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) enter hostile territory this week as the team is set to play their first road game of the 2024 season against Derek Carr and red-hot New Orleans Saints (2-0) on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Eagles are 7-5 (.583) over the last 12 regular season meetings against the Saints on the road. New Orleans, on the other hand, came off a dominant 44-19 win over the Cowboys last week, and now looks to become the eighth Saints franchise to begin a campaign with a 3-0 record. 🎙 Joe Davis, Greg Olsen and Pam Oliver will call the action for the Eagles-Saints on FOX.

Devin Singletary and the winless New York Giants (0-2) find themselves on the road this week, as they face Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns (1-1) from Cleveland's Huntington Bank Field on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Giants are coming off a 21-18 loss to the Washington Commanders last week. The Browns secured their first win of 2024 last week, 18-13, vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars down in Jacksonville. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones went 16-for-28 for 178 yards and two touchdowns in the loss against the Commanders. Browns defensive end (and reigning Defensive Player of the Year) Myles Garrett recorded a strip sack versus the Jaguars last week, meaning that Garrett has now forced at least one strip sack in both of Cleveland's games this season. 🎙 Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma and Megan Olivi handle Sunday's Giants-Browns FOX broadcast.

The Green Bay Packers (1-1) head south this week to battle Calvin Ridley and the winless Tennessee Titans (0-2) at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. Last week, the Packers earned their first dub of 2024 via a 16-10 win over the Colts at Lambeau Field. Packers quarterback Malik Willis, erstwhile with the Titans, made his first Packers start filling in for regular starter Jordan Love, who missed the Colts game due to a MCL sprain that he suffered during Week 1 against the Eagles in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Packers running back Josh Jacobs totaled over 150 yards during the Week 2 Colts-Packers contest. Last week, the Titans fell short 24-17 to the New York Jets in the team's home opener. Titans quarterback Will Levis, in his 11th career start, went 19-for-28 for 192 yards, including a 40-yard dot to WR Calvin Ridley. 🎙 Sunday's Packers-Titans broadcast on FOX features Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston (analyst) & Laura Okmin (reporter).

Courtland Sutton and the winless Denver Broncos (0-2) make a road trip out east to Tampa this week, as the Broncos match up with Chris Godwin, Baker Mayfield and the undefeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-2) on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. Last week, the Broncos were defeated at home by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 13-6. Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had an awful day in the receiving game, catching just one ball for 26 yards. On the flip side, the Buccaneers got revenge for last year's Divisional Round loss to the Lions, by beating them 20-16 last week in Detroit. Godwin is having a excellent start to 2024, as he is currently tied for second in the NFL for receptions (15, alongside Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp and receiving yards (200, alongside Lions receiver Jameson Williams). 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Tim Brando, analyst and four-time Super Bowl champion Matt Millen and reporter Sarah Kustok are on Sunday's Broncos-Buccaneers broadcast.

The NFL on FOX Week 3 Sunday doubleheader continues at 4:25 PM (ET) with America's Game of the Week. Three games will be held during this national window for regional distribution: Ravens at Cowboys, 49ers at Rams & Lions at Cardinals. Each one of these three games will be analyzed and dissected to give you guys some important things to monitor. That will occur over the next few parts of the article or so.

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens (0-2) search for their first win of the season this Sunday in Arlington, as they meet Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. As I mentioned earlier in this press release, this is a marquee early season interconference matchup. Both teams are coming off Week 2 losses (the Ravens losing to the Raiders & Cowboys getting pummeled by the Saints), so the hunger and desire to grab a Week 3 win is through the roof. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has completed 64.8% of his passes so far this season, with 2 touchdown passes. The Ravens are sliding off a cliff very fast and must shake themselves out of an early season slump. 🎙 Kevin Burkhardt provides play-by-play commentary with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady providing analysis. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi join the broadcast with sideline reports throughout the game.

Two NFC West teams collide at SoFi Stadium for Week 3, as Fred Warner and the defending NFC champions San Francisco 49ers (1-1) face off against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams (0-2) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. The 49ers once again battle as a visiting team for the second straight week, following their 23-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 2. And sadly, the 49ers will enter this Week 3 contest a little shorthanded, as the team will be without star WR Deebo Samuel (calf strain) and RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring/Achilles). The Rams, though, find themselves in a troubling position following losses to the Lions and Cardinals to begin the 2024 season. Rams QB Matthew Stafford has passed for at least 200 yards in eight straight regular season games. 🎙 Sunday's 49ers-Rams broadcast on FOX will have Adam Amin on play-by-play, Mark Sanchez as the analyst & Kristina Pink working the sidelines.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions (1-1) take a trip to the desert this week to play rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Arizona Cardinals (1-1) on Sunday, September 22 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. The Cardinals crushed the division foe Rams, 41-10, last week behind a perfect passer rating from Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and two touchdowns from Cardinals rookie WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Cardinals safety Budda Baker had eight tackles, while Cardinals running back James Conner ran for over 100 yards on the ground last week vs. the Rams. The Lions are reeling a little following a 20-16 loss to their Divisional Round opponent from last season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, there were some good things to take away from Buccaneers-Lions last week - following a quiet Week 1, Amon-Ra St. Brown went OFF in this one, catching 10 balls for 110 yards, and Aidan Hutchinson getting 4.5 sacks. 🎙 The broadcast team of Chris Myers (play-by-play), Mark Schlereth (analyst) & Jennifer Hale (reporter) will call the Lions-Cardinals game on FOX.

FOX wraps up Week #3 doubleheader coverage at 7:30 PM (ET) with The OT. This program features the studio team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long & Jay Glazer.
