NFL Week 12 coverage map: Full TV schedule for CBS, Fox regional broadcasts

Don’t look ahead to the NFL’s Thanksgiving slate just yet. The league offers an early feast this weekend, with a handful of pivotal matchups on the docket as playoff races take shape.

No team may be under more of a microscope on Sunday than the Kansas City Chiefs, who fell to 5-5 with last week’s loss to the Denver Broncos and saw their AFC West hopes drift farther away than anyone could have expected by this point in the season.

For now, the Chiefs’ goal has to be simply reaching the playoffs. They can improve their chances against the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts in what should be a fun matchup in Sunday’s early window.

Elsewhere, division leaders meet when the Chicago Bears host the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Aaron Rodgers’ injury hovers over the Steelers, they managed to survive after he exited in Week 11 and can maintain their increasingly narrow grip on the AFC North with a victory over the surging Bears.

The Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks will spend their Sunday trying to put painful losses behind them as they face two teams closer to the top of the draft order than the playoff picture, while the Minnesota Vikings will head to Lambeau Field for what is close to a must-win game if they want to give themselves a realistic chance at a playoff berth.

Here’s a complete look at the NFL Week 12 coverage map, including which games will air in the nation’s largest TV markets.
