Chargers missing the playoffs vs. Chiefs losing the division
Joe Rivera and Chris Bumbaca analyze the bigger disaster — the Chiefs losing the AFC West or the Chargers falling short of the playoffs.
There are just two bye weeks left on the NFL’s 2025 schedule. One of them will occur in Week 12, limiting the league’s Sunday slate to 12 games overall.
The good news? The NFL’s international schedule has wrapped for the year. That means the afternoon slate will contain 11 games, with the lone Sunday stand-alone coming during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Los Angeles Rams “Sunday Night Football” game.
Per usual, the 11 games in the Sunday afternoon slate will be split evenly between CBS and Fox. This week, CBS will have the right to broadcast six of the contests while Fox will get five, as well as the opportunity to broadcast a game in both the early- and late-afternoon windows in each region.
Fox’s coverage figures to rely heavily on a couple of NFC divisional matchups. The early window will likely feature the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings game as its main draw, while an NFC East battle between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles will be the top option in the late window.
CBS’ coverage will be more regionalized. The media giant has arguably the best game of the slate – the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Indianapolis Colts contest – on its menu. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be on the call for that game, a sign that the network plans to treat it as its marquee matchup for Week 12.
Here’s a look at which games will be broadcast in each area of the country during Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season.
