Social media roasted a Wisconsin legend during the Super Bowl broadcast

What did you think of JJ Watt’s hair?

Wisconsin legend and recently retired NFL star J.J. Watt’s name was trending during the Super Bowl last night, though not necessarily for the right reason.

Watt is part of CBS’s NFL coverage and was front-and-center for the network’s halftime show before Usher’s performance. The future Hall of Famer decided to switch his hairstyle in advance of this broadcast, thinking nobody would really notice.

He was severely mistaken. The internet reacted the same way: “What did Watt do to his hair?”

With that, he somehow became one of the names trending during the year’s biggest television event in the nation — and he wasn’t even playing.

Watt cleared the air afterward, again saying he thought nobody would notice:

Here was some of the social media reaction to Watt’s hair last night:

WATCH: Mitch Holthus calls end of Chiefs’ victory vs. Bills

Check out this video of Mitch Holthus’ electric calls at the end of the #Chiefs’ win over the #Bills on Sunday.

Few play-by-play announcers in the NFL are as beloved as Mitch Holthus, who has been the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs since 1994.

His electric calls have captivated fans for decades, and the performance he put together while broadcasting the Chiefs’ victory over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs was nothing short of legendary.

The team posted a video of Holthus’ exuberant commentary from the final minutes of Sunday’s win, which is sure to get Chiefs Kingdom riled up ahead of Kansas City’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game this weekend.

Calls like these are part of what makes Chiefs football so special. Holthus is an absolute dynamo behind the microphone, and without his outstanding effort to bring fans a best-in-class broadcast, Kansas City’s games wouldn’t be the same.

Expect the long-tenured announcer to bring even more energy to the Chiefs’ next game, which could send them to Super Bowl LVIII.

Jaguars vs. Titans broadcast map: Where will the game be on TV?

What areas will have the Jaguars vs. Titans on their local TV station?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a win away from defending their AFC South title. They’re also potentially a loss away from their season ending Sunday in Nashville.

With three teams entering the final week of the season tied for the AFC South crown, the Jaguars will win any tiebreaker so long as they beat the last place Tennessee Titans in Week 18. But a loss would mean a second place finish in the division and Jacksonville would need a couple other results to go its way to sneak into the postseason as a wild card.

It’s not quite an all-or-nothing matchup, but it might as well be for the Jaguars.

When the Jaguars try to cap their regular season with a win to get into the playoffs, they may need to do so without Trevor Lawrence. The third-year quarterback sat out Week 17 with a shoulder sprain and is questionable for the team’s Week 18 game in Tennessee.

In-market fans will have the Jaguars’ Week 18 road game at Nissan Stadium on their local CBS affiliate and can stream the game on fuboTV. Kevin Harlan will be on play-by-play coverage in the booth with Trent Green providing analysis.

Fans in the red area on the map below will have the Jaguars vs. Titans game on their local CBS station at 1 p.m. ET, according to 506sports.com:

Those who aren’t in an area highlighted red will need NFL Sunday Ticket, now offered by YouTube, to watch the Jaguars as an out-of-market game.

Jaguars vs. Panthers broadcast map: Where will the game be on TV?

What areas will have the Jaguars vs. Panthers on their local TV station?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are still looking for their first December win and it can’t come fast enough. Last week, the Jaguars were pummeled by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, extending their losing streak to four.

When the Jaguars try to end that slide against the 2-13 Carolina Panthers on Sunday, they’ll be without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The third-year passer suffered a shoulder sprain in the team’s Week 16 loss, forcing the Jaguars to turn to C.J. Beathard for their final home game of the regular season.

In-market fans will have the Jaguars’ Week 17 home game at EverBank Stadium on their local CBS affiliate and can stream the game on fuboTV. Spero Dedes will be on play-by-play coverage in the booth with Adam Archuleta providing analysis.

Fans in the yellow area on the map below will have the Jaguars vs. Panthers game on their local CBS station at 1 p.m. ET, according to 506sports.com:

Those who aren’t in an area highlighted yellow will need NFL Sunday Ticket, now offered by YouTube, to watch the Jaguars as an out-of-market game.

Jaguars vs. Buccaneers broadcast map: Where will the game be on TV?

What areas will have the Jaguars vs. Buccaneers on their local TV station?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are still looking for their first December win and it can’t come fast enough. After three straight losses to start the month for Jacksonville, there’s now a three-way tie atop the AFC South.

But if the Jaguars can pull off a road victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16, they’d be right back on the doorstep of eliminating doubt and clinching the division title.

To pull that off, Jacksonville will need to end a three-game win streak for the Buccaneers that has vaulted them into first in the NFC South.

In-market fans will have the Jaguars’ Week 16 road game in Tampa Bay on their local CBS affiliate and can stream the game on fuboTV. Kevin Harlan will be on play-by-play coverage in the booth with Trent Green providing analysis.

Fans in the blue area on the map below will have the Jaguars vs. Buccaneers game on their local CBS station at 4:05 p.m. ET, according to 506sports.com:

Those who aren’t in an area highlighted blue will need NFL Sunday Ticket, now offered by YouTube, to watch the Jaguars as an out-of-market game.

Lions-Broncos broadcast won’t be available to most fans

The Lions-Broncos game is only on the NFL Network, which means FOX affiliates outside of Detroit cannot carry the game

Unless you live in the Detroit broadcast viewing area or subscribe to the NFL Network, Saturday night’s matchup between the Lions and Denver Broncos will not be available for you to watch.

The game is a national broadcast by the NFL Network and is not shared with local markets except the home city of the teams. The game is not airing on any over-the-air broadcast platform. That includes the FOX Sports app which normally airs games, too. Local affiliates outside Detroit (and Denver) are not even given the option of showing the game.

For Lions fans around Michigan and the rest of the country who don’t subscribe to the NFL Network or NFL+, that means the game is not available. Subscribers to those services will get the game, as well as FUBO TV subscribers. Restaurants and sports bars will be able to air the game.

Plan ahead for Saturday’s game, either by subscribing to the NFL Network or alternative packages or figuring out a destination to watch the game in public.

Jaguars vs. Browns broadcast map: Where will the game be on TV?

What areas will have the Jaguars vs. Browns on their local TV station?

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be looking to bounce back this weekend when they play on the road against the Cleveland Browns.

During a disastrous Monday night game at home last week, the Jaguars saw some key players go down with injuries, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence and wide receiver Christian Kirk. On top of that, the Cincinnati Bengals picked up a win in overtime.

Jacksonville has shown resiliency before, though.

The Jaguars shook off back-to-back losses in September to win five straight in October and quickly forgot a 31-point loss to the San Francisco 49ers by picking up a pair of wins against divisional opponents.

In-market fans will have the Jaguars’ Week 14 road game in Cleveland on their local CBS affiliate and can stream the game on fuboTV.

Ian Eagle will be on play-by-play coverage in the booth with Charles Davis providing analysis.

Fans in the red area on the map below will have the Jaguars vs. Browns game on their local CBS station at 1 p.m. ET, according to 506sports.com:

Those who aren’t in an area highlighted red will need NFL Sunday Ticket, now offered by YouTube, to watch the Jaguars as an out-of-market game.
