By John Buhler
Week 12 of the 2017 NFL coincides with Thanksgiving weekend. Here are the broadcast maps for the 11 games that will be either CBS or FOX on Sunday.
It’s Thanksgiving weekend in the United States. You know what that means? Turkey, family and NFL football. Though the Week 12 slate has maybe two or three marquee games, it will be a full slate of, for lack of a better word, interesting football.
Of course, Thanksgiving weekend means that there will be five nationally televised games on the schedule this week. The three Thanksgiving Day games are as follows: Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions on FOX, Los Angeles Chargers at Dallas Cowboys on CBS and New York Giants at Washington Redskins on NBC.
The two other nationally televised games this week will of course be Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. NBC will have the Sunday night game with the Green Bay Packers playing the Pittsburgh Steelers. ESPN will have the Monday night game with the Houston Texans at the Baltimore Ravens.
As for the 11 other games this weekend, those will be shown on Sunday afternoon on either CBS or FOX. Here are the broadcast maps for those 11 games. Maps are by 506Sports.com.
