The Arizona Cardinals are on their bye in Week 11, so Cardinals fans in Arizona will not get to see their team play. They will have three other games to choose from on Sunday to watch.
However, the games have changed.
CBS has a doubleheader, so Cardinals fans can watch the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens play in the early 1 p.m. ET (11 a.m. Arizona time) kickoff. That hasn’t changed.
Neither has the CBS late game that is airing nationally kicking off at 4:25 p.m. ET (2:25 p.m. Arizona time). That is the marquee game of the week with the undefeated defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) on the road against the Buffalo Bills (8-2).
What has changed is the FOX broadcast. As we noted earlier in the week, most of Arizona was scheduled to get FOX’s broadcast of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
On Thursday, that changed. Instead of Packers-Bears, it will be a late broadcast that has major implications for the Cardinals. FOX will now air Seahawks-49ers in almost all of Arizona. That game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET (2:05 p.m. Arizona time).
So Cardinals fans will only have the Ravens-Steelers game to see in the first game of the day and will have to choose between Seahawks-49ers or Chiefs-Bills, or bounce between the two games.
