NFL Sunday Early Games Open Thread

With the Minnesota Vikings not kicking off their game with the Seattle Seahawks until the later half of the Sunday NFL schedule, we can take in some of the early NFL action. Here are the games that are on tap for today.

Early Games on FOX

Detroit Lions at Pittsburgh Steelers - Thom Brenneman, Brian Billick
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles - Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Sam Rosen, Heath Evans
Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars - Dick Stockton, Ronde Barber(!?)

Early Games on CBS

Baltimore Ravens at Chicago Bears - Jim Nantz, Phil Simms
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills - Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals - Marv Albert, Rich Gannon
Oakland Raiders at Houston Texans - Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots

Late Games on FOX (that hopefully most affiliates carrying our game won't switch to halfway through)

San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints - Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
Green Bay Packers at New York Giants - Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston

Late Game on CBS (that you hopefully won't switch to halfway through)

San Diego Chargers at Miami Dolphins - Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf

The Sunday Night contest on NBC features what should be a great match-up between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. On Monday Night, we will get an interconference battle between the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers.

The only two teams taking this week off are the Dallas Cowboys and the St. Louis Rams.

We're about thirty minutes away from the start of the biggest portion of Week 11 action in the National Football League, ladies and gentlemen. Everyone's just killing time until the Vikings' game starts anyway, so why not do it here?
