CBS has seven games on the slate in Week 7. The London game will be nationally televised, but CBS will have five early games and one late game. The five 1:00 PM ET games are as follows: Oakland Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens at New York Jets, Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals, and Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans.
Shreveport and most of the East Coast outside of Philadelphia and Boston will get Ravens at Jets. New England, South Florida, and Western New York are getting the AFC East game between the Bills and Dolphins. Cleveland and Cincinnati are getting Cleveland at Cincinnati.
Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Fargo, Nashville, and Indianapolis will be getting Colts at Titans. Greater Kansas City and Philadelphia are blacked out on CBS during the 1:00 PM ET slot due to having home games being shown on FOX. Everybody else will be getting Raiders at Jaguars.
The lone late game on CBS this week will be the New England Patriots at the Pittsburgh Steelers. The only media market that will not be getting this game in the country is Atlanta, as the Falcons are hosting the Chargers on FOX.
