TV schedule shows KC fans will see NFL games that could affect Chiefs playoff seeding
A change was made to the schedule of NFL games that will be shown Sunday on KCTV (Ch. 5), so Chiefs fans will now see the Tennessee Titans play the Houston Texans.
The schedule originally showed the noon game in Kansas City would be the Steelers-Ravens contest, which is being aired to most of the nation on CBS.
If the Chiefs beat the Broncos on Saturday, fans will be following the Titans’ game in Houston, as a Tennessee loss would give Kansas City the top seed in the AFC playoffs. Viewers in KC will now see that game, followed by the Jets-Bills contest.
Here is the TV map for the noon game on CBS from 506Sports.com. The areas in red will see the Steelers-Ravens, while green represents the Titans-Texans contest and blue is the Bills-Jaguars game.
There also will be a doubleheader of key games on WDAF (Ch. 4) in Kansas City. At noon is the Browns-Bengals game, which could impact the Chiefs playoff seeding if they lose at Denver. The 3:25 p.m. game will be the Rams-49ers contest, which may decide the NFC West race.
The “Sunday Night Football” game on KSHB (Ch. 41) is between the Chargers and Raiders, which could determine the Chiefs’ postseason opponent.
Here’s the full list of broadcast assignments for the Week 18 games.
