Multiple CBS affiliates request to not show Bears vs. Broncos

Many CBS affiliates would rather show Dolphins vs. Bills instead of Bears vs. Broncos. Can you blame them?

At one point in time, the Chicago Bears were a must-see on TV. Nowadays, they’re more like must-flee TV, and multiple television stations are making sure their viewers don’t have to see the mess ahead of their matchup with the Denver Broncos. The two winless teams are set to square off in Week 4 on Sunday afternoon on CBS, but the game will be on fewer stations around the country than initially anticipated.

According to 506 Sports via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, various CBS affiliates across the country who were originally set to air the Bears and Broncos requested and received permission to air the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills games instead. Those stations include the entire state of Michigan; northern Wisconsin; Des Moines, Iowa; Fargo, N.D.; Mankato, Minn.; and parts of Missouri.

The game will still be available for the greater Chicagoland area, as well as most of Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Eastern Iowa. It will also air across Colorado and its surrounding states. But a decent chunk of the country has spoken, and they do not want to see the Bears if they can help. Can you blame them? Chicago and Denver are both 0-3 and aren’t exactly playing a fun brand of football that’s appealing to viewers. The Bears lost 41-10 last week to the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in a game that was nationally televised that they abandoned for another game just after halftime.

The Broncos, meanwhile, were dismantled by the Dolphins, losing 70-20. Denver had no answer for Miami’s offense and surrendered the most points since 1950. With these two juggernauts coming together, this could be a tough game to consume for those in the market.

NFL Broadcast Map: Will Bears vs. Vikings air in your area?

The Chicago Bears will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Will the Bears be on in your part of the country?

The Chicago Bears will host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, where the Bears will be looking to keep their playoff hopes alive with a win against their divisional rivals in Week 15.

The Bears are coming off an impressive 36-7 win over the Houston Texans, where Chicago’s offense scored 28 points in the first half. They’re starting to establish an identity on offense, which starts with running the football with David Montgomery and utilizing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s strengths. But, it might be too little too late.

Chicago’s defense has also bounced back following a two-game skid, where they held Deshaun Watson and Houston’s offense to just seven points. If the Bears are going to have any chance of winning Sunday, they’re going to need their defense to rise to the challenge of stopping running back Dalvin Cook and rookie wideout Justin Jefferson.

We’ll see if the Bears can keep their slim playoff hopes alive with a win over the Vikings in Week 15.
