Week 12 NFL Early Games Discussion

The early window of NFL action is getting ready to kick off in about half an hour or so, and the Minnesota Vikings are not a part of it since their game does not kick off until about 3:25 PM Central time. Since we’ve got plenty of time to wait, that can only mean one thing.

Yes, it’s yet another modified, limited RED ZONE SUNDAY here at The Daily Norseman, where we get to kick back and watch all of the NFL action of the early window before our game gets underway.

Here’s a complete list of the games for the early window this week, along with the broadcast maps from 506 Sports. That way if you happen to not have the Red Zone Channel, or if you just want to focus on one game, you’ll know what games are on in your area.

Early Games on CBS

• Blue: Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals - Kevin Harlan, Trent Green - DirecTV Ch 705
• Yellow: New York Jets at Houston Texans - Spero Dedes, Jay Feely - DirecTV Ch 706
• Red: Tennessee Titans at New England Patriots - Ian Eagle, Charles Davis - DirecTV Ch 707

The green area on the map represents one of the late games, as CBS does not have the doubleheader this week.

Early Games on FOX

• Yellow: Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars - Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez - DirecTV Ch 708
• Red: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Indianapolis Colts - Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen - DirecTV Ch 709
