NFL Week 11, 2018: Broadcast map
By Nick Villano
The NFL Week 11 slate has some of the best matchups of the year. Here is which matchup is playing in your viewing area.
There are so many matchups worth watching this week. Some are so good, that people might hope their local team gets usurped. It doesn’t work that way, but either way it’ll be a fun week to watch the NFL this week.
First off, there are the nationally televised matchups that everyone gets to watch. On Thursday, you have a very fun game where the Green Bay Packers look to keep their floundering playoff hopes alive when they take on the Seattle Seahawks. Being it’s an NFC matchup, it’s no surprise that will air on FOX.
On NBC, they have an NFC North matchup with the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears jockeying for position. The winner will be the leader of the division. On Monday night, the matchup of the year airs on ESPN as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Los Angeles Rams. This game was supposed to be played in Mexico City, but a bad field forced them to move it to Los Angeles.
As for the Sunday slate, here are the games you’ll be getting on your television.

CBS Early and Late
Red: Pittsburgh @ Jacksonville
Green: Houston @ Washington
Yellow: Cincinnati @ Baltimore
Light Blue: Tennessee @ Indianapolis
Dark Blue: Denver @ LA Chargers (LATE)
Orange: Oakland @ Arizona (LATE)
The CBS slate splits the country in two. Four matchups fill the 1 p.m. slot, and two fill a four p.m. slot. Nobody in the country gets a full six hours on CBS this week. The major matchup is the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Most of the Northeast, Florida and the Great Lakes areas will see this game. Most of Texas, North Carolina and Virginia will be seeing the Houston Texans taking on the Washington Redskins. The Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts are mostly tied to their local viewing areas. The same goes for Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens.
The two late games are all seen on the west coast. Most will see the Denver Broncos taking on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Arizona Cardinals-Oakland Raiders matchup is not the best one on the schedule. In fact, part of Arizona won’t even get that game.
Fox Early
Red: Dallas @ Atlanta
Blue: Tampa Bay @ New York Giants
Green: Carolina @ Detroit
Fox will have games on early and late in all but only a select few markets that have games on CBS. Those markets will be marked in gray on the map. In the early slate, the Dallas Cowboys take on the Atlanta Falcons. That matchup is played in more markets than any non-nationally televised game this week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Giants face each other in the early game. That will play in the usual New York markets, and most of Florida. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers take on the Detroit Lions. That game will mostly play in local markets, besides the state of Minnesota.
The Fox late map has but one game on it. And it’s a good one. The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles take on the NFC-leading New Orleans Saints. This will be the game to watch nationwide, as it will play in every market except Arizona, where they will get the local game on CBS.
