Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, Jets' Justin Fields get near-national spotlight on Week 1 NFL coverage maps image

Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields get quite the Week 1 matchup.

It's the Pittsburgh Steelers and their new quarterback Rodgers against his old team the New York Jets, who have a new quarterback in Fields, who was with the Steelers last season.

Confused yet?

If you like the term "revenge game," this is about as revenge-y as a game can get.

And most of the country will get to tune in to watch it at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Steelers vs. Jets coverage map Week 1

The fantastic 506 Sports website unveiled its Week 1 coverage maps on Wednesday morning.

Here's how it looks for the 1 p.m. window on CBS, which includes Steelers-Jets:

The obvious markets in New York and Pennsylvania get Steelers-Jets, of course.

It'll also be carried most of the way down the Atlantic coast.

Texas and the Pacific Northwest, along with NFC North country, all get to watch Rodgers take on Fields, too.

The map just trickles into Chicago so Fields' former city can watch him, and Green Bay can tune in for Rodgers.

The kid from California, Rodgers won't be viewable in most of his home state, with the Raiders taking over there.

CBS is lucky to have Steelers-Jets in this window, because none of Dolphins-Colts, Raiders-Patriots or Cardinals-Saints is that inspiring. Although to be fair to Vegas and New England, those are two darkhorse playoff contenders.

But most eyes will be on Rodgers and the Steelers vs. Fields and the Jets.
