- Soldier Field in Chicago plays host to a very important NFC North duel in Week #11 as Jordan Love, Romeo Doubs, Jaire Alexander and the Green Bay Packers (6-3) return to the gridiron following last week's bye against Kevin Byard III and the Chicago Bears (4-5) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX.

Hi again, everyone! The 2024 NFL season continues this Sunday, November 17, with Week #11 regional action on the NFL on FOX. For the second straight Sunday, FOX will present one game on a regional basis across the country. There are five games on the FOX docket, and they include: Packers at Bears (1:00 PM ET), Browns at Saints (1:00 PM ET), Rams at Patriots (1:00 PM ET), Seahawks at 49ers (4:05 PM ET; LATE) and Falcons at Broncos (4:05 PM ET; LATE). Which game will you receive on FOX and who's set to announce the action? Continue reading to find out in this week's edition of the NFL on FOX broadcast & regionalization article.
During this Sunday's NFL on FOX regional action, the lead ("foremost") broadcast will be a NFC North clash from Chicago's Soldier Field as the Packers visit the Bears at 1:00 PM ET. More information about Sunday's Packers-Bears matchup is located in the ensuing paragraph (see below).
At 1:00 PM ET, Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (6-3) return from their bye week to face 2024 NFL Draft #1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears (4-5). Simply put, the Packers have DOMINATED the Bears at Soldier Field over the past decade and a half or so, as Green Bay has taken victory in 13 of the 14 previous trips to Soldier Field. Currently, the Packers would be the last team in the NFC playoff picture as the #7 seed. Chicago, on the other hand, is reeling somewhat as they have dropped three straight following their Week 7 bye. 🎙 FOX's lead team of Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) and Tom Rinaldi (reporter) are tasked with announcing with the early afternoon NFC North duel.
FOX will set up Sunday's Week #11 singleheader with two live hours of pregame coverage. The pregame activities start at 11:00 AM ET with "FOX NFL Kickoff" live from Los Angeles, California. Host Charissa Thompson, analyst and four-time Pro Bowl Michael Vick, analyst and Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman and insider Peter Schrager have a first look at the upcoming day's football action. The program will also contain interviews with key NFL newsmakers, live reports from the NFL game sites, any breaking news that arises and updates.
Following "FOX NFL Kickoff", the pregame coverage continues at 12:00 PM ET with another episode of the legendary "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame show. Live from Los Angeles, Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw team up as co-hosts for the one hour program. Menefee and Bradshaw are scheduled to be joined at the desk this week by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, Hall of Famer Howie Long & four-time champion Rob Gronkowski. Longtime FOX Sports stalwart Jay Glazer rounds out the cast and serves as the "insider" for the program.
Then, FOX heads out to the stadiums for the kickoffs of the early game of the singleheader (for FOX stations that are allowed to air their only game during this window). At 1:00 PM ET, FOX will regionalize three matchups - Packers at Bears (52% of Markets), Rams at Patriots (10% of Markets) & Browns at Saints (7% of Markets). We will discuss each of these early game matchups in just a moment (sans Packers-Bears, as I will summarize the ideas expressed earlier in this article).
Jayden Reed and the Green Bay Packers (6-3) hit the road this week to face D'Andre Swift and the Chicago Bears (4-5) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on FOX. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt is joined by analyst and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, reporter Erin Andrews & reporter Tom Rinaldi for Sunday's Packers-Bears broadcast. (For more information on Packers-Bears, check out the second paragraph in this article.)
Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams (4-5) look to shake off a ugly showing vs. the Dolphins on "Monday Night Football" when they line up against Anfernee Jennings and the New England Patriots (3-7) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on FOX. The Rams are coming off a pretty bad 23-15 loss to the Dolphins last week on "Monday Night Football". Before that Miami loss, Los Angeles had stringed together three consecutive wins. Now, the Rams strive to get back to the .500 mark. Rams WR Cooper Kupp caught seven passes for 80 yards last week vs. the Dolphins. Rams rookie LB Jared Verse had his second career forced fumble & first career fumble recovery last week vs. the Dolphins. It has been a long season for the Patriots and their fans. However, a bright spot happened last week, when the Patriots defeated the Bears 19-3 at Soldier Field. The Patriots try to win back-to-back games for the first time this season and place another dent on the Rams' postseason hopes. Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran for 74 yards last week vs. the Bears. Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye went 15-for-25 for 184 yards & TD last week vs. the Bears. 🎙 Adam Amin serves as the play-by-play announcer alongside analyst and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez. Kristina Pink works the sidelines.
Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns (2-7) return to action following a bye week when they travel to the Casears Superdome to play Cameron Jordan and the New Orleans Saints (3-7) on Sunday, November 17 at 1:00 PM ET on FOX. Both teams have dropped six of their previous seven games, following a 1-1 Browns start and a 2-0 Saints start. Because of this, both teams are now barely hanging on to any playoff hopes whatsoever. Two weeks ago, the Browns dropped a 27-10 decision to the Chargers at home. Browns RB Nick Chubb has compiled 50+ scrimmage yards in each of his previous 12 games away from Huntington Bank Field. Browns CB Denzel Ward had 2 passes deflected in Week 9 vs. the Chargers. In Week #10, the Saints FINALLY snapped their seven-game losing streak by besting the Falcons 20-17. Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling had a memorable Saints debut last week, with a season-high 109 receiving yards & 2 tuddies. Saints DL Chase Young had a sack & his first forced fumble in Week 10 vs. the Falcons. 🎙 Sunday's Browns-Saints broadcast will be seen on FOX, with Kenny Albert on play-by-play, Super Bowl champion LB Jonathan Vilma on color commentary & Jennifer Hale covering the sidelines.
Later in the afternoon, for stations waiting patiently to display a late game, live coverage begins at 4:00 PM ET with kickoff slated for 4:05 PM ET (following a quick broadcast open and a few commercials inserted). Two games will be regionally televised on FOX during this 4:00 PM ET window - Seahawks at 49ers (21% of Markets) & Falcons at Broncos (10% of Markets). We will prepare you for these late afternoon confrontations in the paragraphs to follow.
Two NFC West rivals are scheduled to finish up their 2024 regular season series as DB Deommodore Lenoir, who recently signed a well-deserved contract extension with San Francisco, leads his homestanding San Francisco 49ers (5-4) into battle with Kenneth Walker III and the Seattle Seahawks (4-5) on Sunday, November 17 at 4:05 PM ET on FOX. The Seahawks have hit a brick wall following a surprising 3-0 start, dropping five of their previous six games, factoring in their 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams in Week #9 (last Seahawks game before the bye). Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett needs just 19 yards to become second player in Seahawks history with 13,000 combined yards. The Seahawks need four more wins to reach 400 wins in club history. The 49ers have won three of their last games following a shaky 2-2 start, including last week's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers. 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey finally made his season debut last week vs. Tampa Bay, rushing 13 times for 39 yards (avg 3.0 yards per tote). 49ers rookie WR Ricky Pearsall scored his first-ever career touchdown vs. the Buccaneers last week. Both teams try to keep pace with the first Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West. If the season were to begin today, both teams would be OUT of the playoff picture, so obviously this game means a lot for both participants here. 🎙 Sunday's Seahawks-49ers contest will be shown on FOX, featuring play-by-play commentator Joe Davis, analyst and three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen and reporter Pam Oliver.
Darnell Mooney and the NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons (6-4) enter hostile territory this week for a interconference matchup with Brandon Jones and the Denver Broncos (5-5) on Sunday, November 17 at 4:05 PM ET on FOX. As of now, both the Falcons & Broncos would be playing some January playoff football, but that is subject to change between now and then. The Falcons have won five of their previous seven games (with those losses coming to the Seahawks in Week #7 and the Saints in Week #10). Falcons WR Drake London has eight catches for 97 yards in Week 10 vs. the Saints. Last week, Falcons RB Bijan Robinson had a great performance in the loss to New Orleans, picking up 144 scrimmage yards (116 rush, 28 rec.) and rushing for two scores. The Broncos came into this week's game with two consecutive losses on their record, a Week #9 loss to the Ravens and a Week #10 loss to the Chiefs at the last second. Broncos WR Courtland Sutton recorded 6 receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown last week vs. the Chiefs. Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II made five tackles last week vs. Kansas City. 🎙 Play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler, analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl "Moose" Johnston and reporter Laura Okmin provide commentary for Sunday's Falcons-Broncos game on FOX.
