For Arizona football fans, Week 15 means four Sunday games again, although perhaps the most intriguing game is not going to be on TV. As for what is on the docket nationwide, plenty of games have meaning, as the playoff fight is getting tighter. Green bay wants to stay undefeated, while a host of other teams are fighting for one of the 12 playoff seeds in both conferences.
Naturally, the Cardinals game against the Browns will be locally televised, but let us look at what else is going to be on TV.
The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the St. Louis Rams on CBS with Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf on the call. While it is big game for the Bengals, it probably will not be too interesting a game since the Rams are starting Kellen Clemens.
On FOX, there is another potential laugher of a game, as it has the Green Bay Packers trying to go for 15-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston have the call and will send Tony Siragusa to the sidelines.
The afternoon game will have the Cardinals and the Browns on CBS. Bill Macatee and Steve Tasker are assigned to broadcast the game. Clearly, it isn't there number one squad. The downside to this? In Arizona, it will be impossible to watch the Tim Tebow vs. Tom Brady show with the Patriots and the Broncos, as that game is scheduled to air also on CBS. The only saving grace one has is to have NFL Sunday Ticket.
On NBC's Sunday Night Football game, Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will call the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Diego Chargers. While some would rather see the Tebow/Brady battle in prime time, this game is certainly potentially gripping, especially if the Chargers can keep playing as they have the past couple of weeks.
