NFL Week 13 2017: Broadcast map
By John Buhler
The NFL will be in Week 13 this weekend. Here are the broadcast maps for all the games being shown on either CBS or FOX on Sunday afternoon in Week 13.
We are in the final five weeks of the 2017 NFL season. Everybody has had their annual byes, even the rudderless Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers because yours came back in Week 1. Teams are gearing up for a playoff push, while others are sadly looking at hopping on the coaching carousel after a lost season.
While there are 16 games on the Week 13 slate, only three will be nationally televised in primetime. Thursday Night Football will be between a pair of NFC East rivals in the Washington Redskins (5-6) and the Dallas Cowboys (5-6). NBC and the NFL Network will have the 8:25 p.m. ET telecast on Nov. 30.
Sunday Night Football should be an outstanding game between two NFC playoff contenders in the Philadelphia Eagles (10-1) and the Seattle Seahawks (7-4). NBC will have the 8:30 p.m. ET telecast on Dec. 3.
Monday Night Football this week will be an interesting clash of AFC North rivals, as the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-2) take on the frisky Cincinnati Bengals (5-6). ESPN will have the 8:30 p.m. ET telecast on Dec. 4.
As for the other 13 games on the Week 13, those games will be shown either on CBS or FOX on Sunday afternoon. Here are the broadcast maps for the Sunday afternoon slate in Week 13. Maps are by 506Sports.com.
