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.

FOX’s Saints-Panthers broadcast coverage is limited in Week 14

FOX’s Saints-Panthers TV broadcast coverage is limited to each team’s home market in Week 14:

The latest round of NFL broadcast maps are live from 506 Sports, and it’s looking like the New Orleans Saints are in for limited television coverage this week. Only FOX affiliate stations in the home markets for the Saints and Carolina Panthers are carrying the game.

It isn’t like this is a crowded viewing window (kickoff is scheduled for Noon CT/1 p.m. ET) with two other games competing on FOX in the early-afternoon slate. But it’s tough to imagine stations around the country are lining up for a game between a Saints team that’s lost three in a row and a one-win Panthers squad.

Will your local station have the game? Check the areas marked in yellow on the map embedded below:

Jonathan Vilma on the call for FOX broadcast of Saints-Panthers

Jonathan Vilma is on the call for FOX’s broadcast of Week 14’s Saints-Panthers game:

Jonathan Vilma is coming back to the Caesars Superdome. The fan-favorite former New Orleans Saints linebacker is on the call for this week’s game broadcast, offering analysis from the FOX Sports booth with Kenny Albert on play-by-play and Shannon Spake reporting from the field. Kickoff with the Carolina Panthers is scheduled for Noon CT/1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 10.

Vilma knows Dennis Allen well; the Saints head coach worked on staff as their defensive backs coach on the Super Bowl XLIV-winning team. So he’s likely going to offer some well-informed analysis during the game.

The Saints can’t afford another loss, especially to the one-win Panthers. Allen’s team has fallen into a three-game losing skid (briefly interrupted by their bye week) that put them in third-place in the NFC South, widely regarded as the worst division in pro football. Here’s hoping Vilma can share his take on a much-needed win for New Orleans.

Lions vs. Saints draws a de facto national broadcast

It’s not technically a national broadcast, but most of the country will get the Lions and Saints in the early broadcast window

This Sunday’s matchup between the Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints is not a national broadcast. However, the vast majority of the country will get the game in the early afternoon broadcast window.

The game is one of three for FOX Sports in the 1 p.m. ET time slot. Joe Davis and Darryl Johnston will be on the call, and chances are it will be available in your area if you liv in Michigan or anywhere south and west of Detroit.

If you live anywhere in the red areas of the map (courtesy 506 Sports), the Lions-Saints game will be on your local FOX affiliate.

The markets in blue are showing the Commanders vs. Dolphins, while the green ones will carry the Falcons vs. Jets matchup. With the Bears and Vikings both on the bye week, it leaves much of the nation for the Lions to roam. aint
