In this week's article, you will find game previews for each of the CBS games this Sunday and distribution splits in terms of markets receiving the games. With that in mind, let's get started.
Pregame coverage on CBS begins at 12:00 PM ET with "The NFL Today powered by RAM Trucks". This show will have highlights, interviews, predictions, and analysis from an esteemed lineup of talent. Veteran sportscaster James Brown serves as host, joined by analyst and former NFL wide receiver Nate Burleson, analyst and 2016 NFL MVP Matt Ryan, and analyst and Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach Bill Cowher. Lead NFL on CBS insider Jonathan Jones joins the program to provide additional insight and perspective from around the National Football League.
T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) seek their 22nd straight regular-season victory at home over Denzel Ward and the Cleveland Browns (1-4) on Sunday, October 12, at 1:00 PM ET on CBS, with Ian Eagle (play-by-play), three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner J.J. Watt (analyst), and Evan Washburn (reporter) on the call. Cleveland won at Pittsburgh 48-37 in a 2020 wild-card game. A rejuvenated Aaron Rodgers passed for eight touchdowns before the Steelers' bye in Week 5.
Ladd McConkey and the Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) fly to the East Coast to face off with Jaylen Waddle and the Miami Dolphins (1-4) on Sunday, October 12, at 1:00 PM ET on CBS, with Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), Super Bowl champion Jason McCourty (analyst), Charles Davis (analyst), and AJ Ross (reporter) teaming up for the broadcast. The Chargers were vanquished by the Commanders 27-10 last week. In Week 5, the Dolphins suffered a disappointing loss, falling 27-24 to the Panthers. The Chargers come into this week's contest tied with the Broncos for first place in the AFC West. At least four Charger players have at least 20 catches at this stage of the year — Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and Omarion Hampton. Dolphins TE Darren Waller has scored three receiving touchdowns in two games with the Dolphins, the most by a player in his first two games in Dolphins franchise history.
After last week's upset in Buffalo, Stefon Diggs and the New England Patriots (3-2) look for another win on the road, this time versus Chase Young and the New Orleans Saints (1-4) on Sunday, October 12, at 1:00 PM ET on CBS. Spero Dedes calls the action with analyst Adam Archuleta and reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala. Last week, the Patriots stunned the Bills 23-20 on "Sunday Night Football". Meanwhile, New Orleans is coming off their first victory of the season, a 26-14 triumph over the Giants last Sunday. The Patriots are currently in the middle of a three-game road trip, with this week's trip to NOLA being the second game (next week, New England travels to Nashville to battle the Titans). So far, New England is fifth in the NFL against the run, giving 85.6 rushing yards per game. Last week, the Saints erupted vs. the Giants, scoring 23 unanswered points to win the football game. Saints QB Spencer Rattler tossed for 225 yards last week, including an 87-yard strike to WR Rashid Shaheed.
Kendrick Bourne and the San Francisco 49ers make the cross-country trek to take on Tristan Wirfs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a clash of 4-1 clubs on Sunday, October 12, at 4:25 PM ET on CBS, featuring play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz, analyst Tony Romo, and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson. The 49ers stunned the Rams 26-23 in overtime last week, while the Buccaneers surprised the Seahawks 38-35 last Sunday.
Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (2-1-1) return from their bye week to host Trey Hendrickson and the sinking Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) on Sunday, October 12, at 4:25 PM ET on CBS, as play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan joins analyst and former NFL quarterback Trent Green and reporter Melanie Collins to provide commentary. Last week, the Bengals lost 37-24 to the Lions in Cincinnati. Things are getting bad in Cincinnati, as the team has dropped three straight games entering Sunday's game in Green Bay. The Bengals have recently acquired veteran quarterback Joe Flacco as they seek assistance at the starting quarterback position while Joe Burrow is sidelined due to turf toe injury. For the first time since 2017, the Packers will face the Bengals at Lambeau Field. Since 2019, the Packers have achieved an impressive 8-3 record at home in October, boasting a .727 winning percentage, which is tied with the Ravens for the highest number of October home wins during this timeframe.
