NFL TV game changer for Cardinals fans in bye week

The Arizona Cardinals are on their week 11 bye, so Cardinals fans in Arizona won’t get to see their team play. They will have three other games to choose from on Sunday to watch.

But the games have changed.

CBS has a doubleheader so Cardinals fans can watch the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens play in the early 1:00 PM ET (11:00 AM Arizona time) kickoff. It hasn’t changed.

It also doesn’t have the CBS late game, which airs nationally and starts at 4:25 PM ET (2:25 PM Arizona time). It’s the highlight of the week with the undefeated defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) on the road against the Buffalo Bills (8-2).

What has changed is the FOX broadcast. As we noted earlier this week, most of Arizona was scheduled to get FOX’s coverage of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.

On Thursday, that changed. Instead of Packers-Bears, it will be a late telecast that has big implications for the Cardinals. FOX will now air the Seahawks-49ers in almost all of Arizona. That match starts at 4:05 PM ET (2:05 PM Arizona time).

So Cardinals fans will only have the Ravens-Steelers game to watch in the first game of the day and will have to choose between Seahawks-49ers or Chiefs-Bills, or jump between the two games.
