Los Angeles Rams (4-6) at Arizona Cardinals (2-9) (Yellow, 4:05 p.m. ET): Chris Myers, Robert Smith
FOX has just a singleheader this weekend so the A-crew of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will get Sunday off. The best game on FOX's slate is a 4:05 clash between Cleveland and Denver that has a lot of importance to the AFC Wild Card picture.
CBS (Early Window)
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) at Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) (Red): Ian Eagle, Charles Davis
Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3) at Houston Texans (6-4) (Blue): Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber, Matt Ryan
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) at Indianapolis Colts (5-5) (Green): Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta
CBS has a strong early window and will send the critical Steelers-Bengals matchup to most of the country as Cincinnati looks to hang on with Joe Burrow lost for the season with a torn ligament in his wrist. The Jaguars-Texans game is the best game by matchup in the window and will primarily go to the AFC South markets.
CBS (Late Window)
Buffalo Bills (6-5) at Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) (Red): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
Kansas City Chiefs (7-3) at Las Vegas Raiders (5-6) (Blue): Kevin Harlan, Trent Green
Grey: No Game
The late window has two good games that will be largely split in distribution with the Eastern United States getting Bills-Eagles and the West getting Chiefs-Raiders. There will not be a game in Phoenix due to broadcast regulations allowing the Cardinals to black out the CBS doubleheader locally with Arizona hosting a 4:05 game on FOX.
Sunday Night Football (NBC)
Baltimore Ravens (8-3) at Los Angeles Chargers (4-6): Mike Tirico, Jason Garrett
Sunday Night Football heads to Los Angeles as the Chargers fight to keep their playoff hopes alive against the red-hot Baltimore Ravens. Mike Tirico will pull a double dip for NBC in Week 12 but Cris Collinsworth will sit out this game so Jason Garrett will join Tirico in the booth for this AFC showdown.
Monday, Nov. 27
Monday Night Football (ESPN/ABC)
Chicago Bears (3-8) at Minnesota Vikings (6-5): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
Week 12 wraps up with a bit of a whimper as the Bears head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in a game that is much more important for Minnesota than Chicago. There will not be a Manningcast this week as Peyton and Eli take the holiday weekend off.
