We’re entering the penultimate of the NFL’s off weeks in week 13, so soon all 32 NFL teams will be playing again every week. That said, the Sunday Slate has already swelled to its relatively normal size for the remainder of the season.
There will be 11 games taking place at the start and end of the afternoon during week 13. This represents the most teams we will see on Sunday until the last week of the season when each team will play on Sunday. Until then, viewers will have to settle for a list of 11 games.
This week’s slate features some great matches. CBS will air the doubles schedule this week, which means they’ll be showing six of the 11 games on Sunday. Their main draw appears to be matches featuring AFC North teams. The Bengals face the Chargers early in the game while the Ravens and Steelers play at 4:25 p.m. ET.

All four of the AFC North teams are within striking distance of the Ravens, but the Bengals have the best chance of knocking them down. They also face a team from the Chargers who can match them shot for shot in what could be a shootout.
As for Fox’s coverage, they are showing just one game. Three will take place at the start of the day while two will take place at the end of the afternoon. The Buccaneers-Falcons, Cardinals-Bears and Washington-Raiders games are the biggest draws, and Fox’s well-dealt card shows that one game is not particularly favored over the others.
Below are the full maps of NFL coverage for Week 13, along with a list of the major CBS and Fox TV and gaming markets that will be featured in each Sunday.

NFL Week 13 Gameplay TV Schedule
Below are the Sunday afternoon games that will be broadcast regionally. “Sunday Night Football” will feature the Broncos and Chiefs in a game that will decide whether the Chiefs remain in sole possession of the AFC West top spot.
“Monday Night Football” will feature a battle for the AFC East, as the Patriots and Bills face off in a key battle. The Patriots (8-4) currently hold a half-game advantage over the Bills in the standings, so the winner on Monday will take the No. 1 seed, at least temporarily. The two teams are also set to face each other later in the season in what could be the most critical game of the group.
