Welcome to Week #5 of the NFL on CBS: Field Pass! The NFL on CBS: Field Pass is an informational guide and weekly broadcast schedule series published online that details regional NFL game distributions, commentator assignments, and pregame lineups for CBS Sports.
On Sunday, October 11, CBS will showcase regional coverage of several games from the Week #5 NFL regular-season schedule. This week’s game schedule features two 2-2 teams trying to get back above .500 (Indianapolis at Pittsburgh), a pair of AFC South clubs trying to earn win No. 1 on the season (Houston at Tennessee), and three teams from the AFC West (Denver, LA Chargers, and Las Vegas). Viewers will see either a 1:00 PM ET game or a 4:05 PM ET game, depending on where you live in the country.
Time now for this week’s edition of the NFL on CBS weekly preview, ahead of the Week #5 singleheader:
🔷 NFL on CBS: Field Pass — Week #5, 2026 | Weekly Schedule Preview | Sunday, October 11, 2026 — CBS Singleheader:

This season, the program welcomes two new analysts — Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson and former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Long. “The NFL Today” will feature highlights, analysis, feature stories, predictions, interviews, and the latest information from around the league.
✱ Singleheader: Early Game Only | Colts vs. Steelers, Raiders vs. Patriots, Browns vs. Jets, Texans vs. Titans | Sunday, 1:00 PM ET/12:00 PM CT — CBS, Paramount+:
Many CBS stations will receive an early game this Sunday. If your local CBS station picks the early singleheader slot, they will have one of four games to choose from.

Jaylen Warren and the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) host Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts (2-2) in a Week 5 matchup at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, October 11 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Steelers try to erase the memory of last week’s 27-24 AFC North loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football, while Indianapolis tries to add its third straight win behind defensive tackle DeForest Buckner.
The lead NFL on CBS broadcast team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner JJ Watt (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (reporter) will announce the Colts-Steelers game.
► Raiders (3-1) vs. Patriots (2-2) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:

The Raiders fell in a heartbreaker, 30-27, to Kansas City last week following three straight W’s to begin the year. The Patriots are coming off last week’s 29-26 victory at the new Highmark Stadium against their AFC East rival Bills.
Sunday’s Raiders-Patriots meeting is a CBS regional broadcast, with Kevin Harlan, Trent Green, and Melanie Collins on the call.
► Browns (3-1) vs. Jets (1-3) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET on CBS & Paramount+:
Deshaun Watson and the surprising Cleveland Browns (3-1) try to keep their early-season success going against Demario Davis and the slumping New York Jets (1-3) on Sunday, October 11 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Browns have won three straight games and find themselves tied with the Ravens for the AFC North lead at 3-1. The Jets, at 1-3, trail the Bills and Patriots out in the AFC East.
Andrew Catalon (play-by-play), Logan Ryan (analyst) & AJ Ross (field reporter) take the call for Browns-Jets from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
► Texans (0-4) vs. Titans (0-4) — Sunday, 1:00 PM ET (12:00 PM CT) on CBS & Paramount+:
A matchup of winless teams here in Week #5 as C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans (0-4) play Alontae Taylor and the Tennessee Titans (0-4) as these AFC South foes match up to find out which side will finally celebrate a victory on Sunday, October 11 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+.

Week #5 action takes us to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the home of Super Bowl LXI, as Courtland Sutton and the Denver Broncos (2-2) make their annual regular season visit to the venue to challenge Khalil Mack and the shockingly still winless Los Angeles Chargers (0-4) on Sunday, October 11 at 4:05 PM ET/1:05 PM PT on CBS and Paramount+. The Broncos try to hit “reset” after last week’s 24-14 loss to the undefeated 49ers. The Chargers, unfortunately, are still winless and running out of time to save their season.
