The Broncos and the Jaguars are crossing the pond to play at Wembley Stadium in Week 8. That extra stand-alone game will lighten the NFL Sunday load a bit; so, too, will the bye-week absences of the Chargers and the Chiefs.
As such, there will be just 11 total games broadcast on Sunday in the early- and late-afternoon slates. Per usual, they will be split between CBS and Fox, but it is the latter network that will be showing the doubleheader in Week 8.

Fox’s coverage is going to be evenly split between its two windows. It has three games in the early slate, headlined by the Bears-Cowboys game, and three games in the late slate, which will be split more between the 49ers-Rams and Giants-Seahawks games.
For a second consecutive week, CBS’s coverage will be a bit more regionalized. Steelers at Eagles will be the most broadcast game on that network, but three other games in the early slate will also get plenty of attention in different parts of the country. And for those that get the CBS late-afternoon game in Week 8, they will be treated to a Titans-Texans tilt.
Below is the full NFL coverage map for Week 8, plus a list of major TV markets and the CBS and Fox games that will be presented in each on Sunday.

TV schedule for NFL Week 8 games
The NFL is set to broadcast one of its most anticipated “Sunday Night Football” games in Week 8, as the Packers will look to upset the Bills on the road. The Packers after lost three consecutive games after a 3-1 start to the season. Aaron Rodgers opened as a double-digit underdog — something he has never been during his career — so it will be difficult for his Packers to beat the Bills as Buffalo comes off its bye healthy and well-rested.
“Monday Night Football” will be a divisional clash during which the 2-5 Browns will host the 4-3 Bengals. Cleveland has struggled to win in recent weeks and came up just short in its 23-20 loss against the Ravens. Meanwhile, the Bengals are 4-1 since starting 0-2 and appear to be finding their rhythm on offense.
Below are the Sunday afternoon games that will be broadcast regionally by CBS and Fox.
