If you're in the New York area and planning your Sunday around NFL action, here's how your TV lineup is shaping up - and yes, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s still plenty to watch.
Early Slate: Two Games, Two Networks
CBS kicks off the day with Jets vs. Jaguars at 1:00 PM ET. Tom McCarthy and Ross Tucker will be on the call, bringing you the action from a matchup that, while not exactly a national headliner, still holds some intrigue - especially for fans tracking young quarterback development and coaching futures.
This game won’t be lighting up TV screens across the country. In fact, it’s got a pretty tight broadcast window.
Only CBS affiliates in New York, Jacksonville, Savannah, Tallahassee, and Panama City will carry it. That’s about as regional as it gets in the NFL world.
But if you're in-market, you're good to go - and if not, streaming options are on the table (more on that in a second).
Over on FOX, you'll get Commanders at Giants in the early slot. It's a divisional matchup, and even if neither team is making a serious playoff push, there’s always something to watch when NFC East rivals collide. Whether it's young talent flashing potential or teams playing spoiler, games like these often turn out more competitive than expected.
Late Afternoon: Spotlight on the NFC
FOX keeps things rolling with a late window game: Lions at Rams. This one has more national appeal.
The Lions have been one of the more compelling teams this season - physical, fast, and fun - while the Rams are trying to find their footing again in a post-Super Bowl reset. Expect some fireworks here, especially with both offenses capable of putting up points in bunches.
Streaming the Games: What You Need to Know
If your local CBS station is carrying the Jets-Jaguars game, you can stream it live via Paramount+, or on NFL+ if you're watching on a tablet or mobile device. If you're outside the broadcast area but still want to catch the game, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV is your go-to - just remember, each of these platforms requires a separate subscription.
Primetime Matchups: National Stage, Big Stakes
Everyone across the country will get a chance to tune in for the marquee matchups in primetime. On Sunday night, it’s Vikings at Cowboys on NBC - a game with plenty of playoff implications and two teams that can light it up offensively when things are clicking.
Then on Monday night, it’s Dolphins at Steelers on ESPN. Miami’s speed and explosiveness meet Pittsburgh’s grit and physicality. It’s a classic contrast in styles, and it should make for a compelling finish to the week.
So whether you're tuning in for your hometown squad or just looking for the best matchups of the week, there’s something on the schedule for every kind of fan.
