NFL coverage map 2017: TV schedule Week 13
By John Buhler
The NFL rolls on into Week 13. Here is the television schedule for all 16 games this week, plus the broadcast maps for the games being shown on CBS and FOX.
It will be Week 13 in the 2017 NFL season. There are only five more weeks left in the NFL season. For teams that are above .500, it’s time to make that big push towards the playoffs. For the other teams that aren’t as lucky, it’ll be a new calendar year shortly.
We’ve got a full slate of games this week, but only three nationally televised games. Those will be the primetime games on Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football.
NFC East rivals will duke it out on Thursday night, as the Dallas Cowboys (5-6) will host the Washington Redskins (5-6) to start the week off right. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Arlington will be at 8:25 p.m. ET on Nov. 30. NBC, the NFL Network and Amazon will carry that game.
The big game on Sunday night will be between two teams in line to potentially make some noise in the NFC playoffs. The Seattle Seahawks (7-4) will host the surging Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) in primetime. Kickoff from CenturyLink Field in Seattle will be at 8:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 3. NBC will have the telecast.
Finally, the Monday night game features two teams that absolutely hate each other. This week, it will be a pair of AFC North enemies, as the Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) reluctantly welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-2) into Paul Brown Stadium. Kickoff will be at 8:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 4. ESPN will have the primetime telecast.
As for the other 13 NFL games this week, they will be shown on either CBS or FOX on Sunday afternoon. Here are the broadcast games for those 13. Maps are by 506Sports.com.
