CBS owns the doubleheader in NFL Week 4, highlighted by Oakland at Denver in the late afternoon time slot. Fox takes advantage of their only broadcast of the Patriots this season in the early game. Their top announcing crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call the game from Foxboro between the Pats and Carolina Panthers. There is also welcome news for NFL fans in Connecticut. WTIC in Hartford will broadcast the Patriots game rather than the Giants game. This is a rare occurrence, but the ineptitude shown by Big Blue during their 0-3 start makes this the right choice.
NBC has been dealt a dud for their Sunday night game. Last April when the schedule was announced Indianapolis at Seattle looked as if it was going to be a great game. Seattle’s offensive line has turned the Seahawks into a disappointment, while the wheels have completely come off a Colt team that needs much more than just Andrew Luck. For a change we get a decent Monday night game this week, with Kansas City hosting Washington.
