Why Bills-Bengals game is on a different TV channel in Week 14, not CBS image

The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals face off Sunday in what should be one of the most exciting games of Week 14.

When you get Josh Allen dueling with Joe Burrow, it always promises a lot of fun.

For those seeking to watch the game, though, you might have to turn the channel to a slightly different spot than you'd expect.

This AFC vs. AFC game isn't on CBS this week.

Why is Bills-Bengals on Fox?

This game is on Fox because that's how the NFL chose to align its games this week.

There is no longer any rule about AFC and NFC on CBS and Fox. The NFL got rid of that.

The networks mostly keep it the traditional way because that's how fans know to find their games.

But this is a week where a few games flip-flop. New Orleans and Tampa Bay play on CBS, and Cleveland and Tennessee also play on Fox.
