For CBS, one was deemed to be a little bigger than the other.<\/p>\n<p>Via Jimmy Traina of Underscore Media, CBS has assigned the No. 1 broadcast team of Jim Nantz and J.J.

Broncos-49ers could be a much better game, and a possible Super Bowl preview. The 49ers are unbeaten, and the Broncos are 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>But the Chiefs and Raiders are both 3-0. Beyond the fact that it was one of the great rivalries of the \u201870s, the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Taylor Swift factor.<\/p>\n<p>The winner will be 4-0. For the Raiders, that would be more wins than they had in all of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes and Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins have met twice before. Mahomes has won both games: in 2023 vs. the Vikings at Minnesota, and in 2023 vs. the Falcons at Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the assignment means that \u2014 not surprisingly \u2014 Tony Romo\u2019s leave of absence from CBS won\u2019t be ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday\u2019s slate of games includes a couple of big late-afternoon game.
