Football fans are gearing up for one of the most anticipated late-afternoon slates of the 2024 season. As red-hot Detroit Lions host MVP frontrunner Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in Philadelphia to take on an Eagles team that has won nine straight games.
Fortunately, these games will appear on different broadcast networks with the CBS airing the Bills vs. Lions game and FOX showing the Steelers vs. Eagles contest. This means that most fans will have access to watch the Steelers game this week... but not everyone.
Select parts of the nation will be getting the Buccaneers vs. Chargers game in the late afternoon window instead. For these fans (and those who are busy with holiday plans during the Christmas season) listening to the game on the radio at home or on the go is a worthwhile backup plan.
