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.
The good news for NFL fans in Week 13? There are no teams on bye. All 32 NFL clubs are in action as the league’s playoff race begins to heat up.
Despite this, the NFL’s Sunday afternoon slate will contain only a handful of games. That’s because the league’s annual Thanksgiving tripleheader and its Black Friday game will create six stand-alone games among the 16 set to be broadcast.
That will leave just 10 on the table for CBS and Fox to divvy up on Sunday afternoon. Per usual, the duo will each get five contests while it’s CBS’ turn to broadcast a game in both the early- and late-afternoon windows.
CBS’s marquee matchup is in the late window. The Buffalo Bills will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in a game that figures to be shown across most of the country.
Meanwhile, Fox’s coverage figures to be hyper-regionalized, as the best matchup on their slate is a battle between the Los Angeles Rams (9-2) and Carolina Panthers (6-6).
Here’s a look at which games will be broadcast in each area of the country during Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season.
