NFL Week 6 2017: Broadcast map
By John Buhler
Week 6 of the 2017 NFL season has arrived. Let’s take a look at the broadcast maps for the 11 games that will be shown on CBS and FOX on Sunday afternoon.
Thursday Night Football between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Carolina Panthers was fantastic. Though the Eagles went on the road and upset the Panthers 28-23, it was great to see such an excellent first game of the Week 6 slate.
We’ve still got 13 more games left on tap this week for your enjoyment, including two nationally televised games. Sunday Night Football will be between the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos at Mile High. NBC will have that 8:30 p.m. ET telecast on Oct. 15.
Monday Night Football will be in Nashville between a pair of AFC South division rivals in the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans. ESPN will have that 8:30 p.m. ET telecast on Oct. 16.
Let’s also keep in mind that four teams are on their byes this week. Those teams are the Buffalo Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals, the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks. Everybody else will be playing on Sunday afternoon. Those games will be on either CBS or FOX. Here are the broadcast maps for those 11 games. Maps are by 506Sports.com.
