Thanksgiving Day
Houston Texans (3-7) at Detroit Lions (4-6) (CBS, 12:30 p.m. ET): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
Washington Football Team (3-7) at Dallas Cowboys (3-7) (FOX, 4:30 p.m. ET): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
UPDATE: The NFL has moved this game to Sunday. More information will be made available in the following days. Baltimore Ravens (6-4) at Pittsburgh Steelers (10-0) (NBC, 8:20 p.m. ET): Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth
This year’s Thanksgiving tripleheader will see CBS in Detroit for the Lions while FOX heads to Dallas for the Cowboys. The night game sees the Ravens look to play through some COVID issues and take down the undefeated Steelers in Pittsburgh. Al Michaels is off this week so Mike Tirico will team with Cris Collinsworth in the NBC booth on Thanksgiving night.
FOX (Singleheader)
Arizona Cardinals (6-4) at New England Patriots (4-6) (Red): Kevin Burkhardt, Daryl Johnston
New York Giants (3-7) at Cincinnati Bengals (2-7-1) (Green): Kevin Kugler, Chris Spielman
Carolina Panthers (4-7) at Minnesota Vikings (4-6) (Orange): Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma
New Orleans Saints (8-2) at Denver Broncos (4-6) (Blue, 4:05): Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth
San Francisco 49ers (4-6) at Los Angeles Rams (7-3) (Yellow, 4:05): Chris Myers, Brock Huard
FOX has the single header this week so Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will get Sunday off. The action is heavily regionalized with the most distribution going to the Cardinals-Patriots game in the early window. The two late games are interesting but won’t be seen much outside of local markets.
CBS (Early Window)
Tennessee Titans (7-3) at Indianapolis Colts (7-3) (Red): Ian Eagle, Charles Davis
Las Vegas Raiders (6-4) at Atlanta Falcons (3-7) (Blue): Kevin Harlan, Trent Green
Los Angeles Chargers (3-7) at Buffalo Bills (7-3) (Green): Greg Gumbel, Rich Gannon
Miami Dolphins (6-4) at New York Jets (0-10) (Yellow): Andrew Catalon, James Lofton
Cleveland Browns (7-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-9) (Orange): Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta
CBS has the doubleheader this week and the early window will see most places get either the Titans-Colts rematch or the Raiders’ trip to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Chargers-Bills will get most of New England and upstate New York while the Jets and Jaguars contests will be heavily regionalized.
CBS (Late Window)
Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-4) (Red): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
Grey: No Game
CBS only has one game in this window and it’s a big one as the Chiefs take on the Buccaneers in the game of the weekend. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo are on the call, making it their second game of the week after calling Texans-Lions on Thanksgiving. Greyed out areas won’t get the game due to NFL contractual obligations, which mostly affect home markets for the Broncos, who host a game in the 4:05 p.m. window.
Sunday Night Football (NBC)
Chicago Bears (5-5) at Green Bay Packers (7-3): Mike Tirico, Tony Dungy
The NFL’s oldest rivalry takes the Sunday night stage as the struggling Bears look to get back on track with a win over the Packers at Lambeau Field. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth are off here so Mike Tirico will team with Football Night in America’s Tony Dungy to call the action.
Monday Night Football (ESPN)
Seattle Seahawks (7-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-6-1): Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick
Week 12 wraps up with a matchup of NFC contenders as the Seahawks will fly east to take on the desperate Eagles on Monday night. ESPN’s trio of Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick will be on the call.
