For the first time since a Christmas meltdown, CBS gives Broncos their top TV crew

For the first time since their Christmas meltdown against the Rams in 2022, the Broncos will have a game called by Jim Nantz and Tony Romo.

The Baltimore Ravens (5-3) are set to host the Denver Broncos (5-3) in Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season in a game that will have big playoff implications in the AFC on Sunday. Consequently, CBS is treating the matchup as a big game.

CBS has assigned its No. 1 commentary crew of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) and Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporter) to the Broncos-Ravens game in Baltimore.

The last time CBS assigned this crew to a Denver game was Christmas Day in 2022 when the Los Angeles Rams dominated the Broncos 51-14. That was one of three Christmas Day games that season — most of the NFL’s other matchups that week were played on Saturday.

As Andrew Mason of DenverSports.com pointed out on Twitter this week, the last typical Sunday game featuring the Broncos with the No. 1 crew from CBS happened five years ago in 2019.

Playing on the road, Denver is considered a big underdog this week. Broncos fans will hope the game doesn’t bring back memories of the team’s Christmas calamity two years ago.

Notre Dame men’s basketball to wear green jerseys for four home games

Dress appropriately for these games.

A big deal always is made whenever the Notre Dame football team wears green jerseys. Typically, it’s reserved for a special occasion once a year. But the men’s basketball team has decided one game of green jerseys isn’t enough.

In a video released Monday, the Irish announced that they will wear green jerseys four times at Purcell Pavilion during the 2024-25 season. The video showcases [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] being asked which one of the four games his team should sport the jerseys in.

After a moment, Shrewsberry decides that Syracuse, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh all need to see the jerseys when they visit South Bend.

The Irish wore green jerseys once last season, and that was a 73-61 loss to Miami. This year, they’ll stick with them of sporting them against ACC competition.

Also of note is that all of the games will be broadcast on network TV. Three of them will be on The CW, and CBS has the game against the Tar Heels. Clearly, the Irish want to look their best while playing for national audiences.

We’ll find out soon enough whether the green jerseys are lucky for the Irish.

CBS to broadcast Notre Dame-North Carolina men’s basketball game

A sign that the Irish are drawing interest.

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team is on the verge of something special. It won’t happen this year, but it likely will when the Irish’s top-ranked 2025 recruiting class comes in. Until then, there’s interest in where the Irish currently stand.

To that end, CBS Sports unveiled its regular-season schedule for its longstanding college basketball coverage, and the Irish will be part of it. Specifically, they will help tip off a tripleheader of games for CBS on Jan. 4 when they welcome North Carolina to Purcell Pavilion.

This will be the first time the Irish have played on CBS since they picked up a 64-63 road victory over Kentucky on Dec. 12, 2020. It didn’t broadcast any of the three games the Irish played during their last NCAA Tournament appearance in 2022.

The last time the network broadcast a game from South Bend was an 82-55 loss to Virginia on Jan. 26, 2019. The Cavaliers went on to win that year’s national championship:

Here’s hoping the Irish will rise to the occasion of getting national exposure on college basketball’s most prestigious broadcast coverage.

Will the Chargers-Broncos matchup be on in your area?

Find out if you will get the matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos on national television.

The Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) are set to get Week 6 underway against the Denver Broncos (3-2).

Those in the yellow area on the TV map will get the game on CBS, courtesy of 506 Sports.

If you’re in the red area, you will get the matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders.

If you’re in the green area, you will get the matchup between the Houston Texans and New England Patriots.

If you’re in the orange area, you will see the Indianapolis Colts play the Tennessee Titans.

If you’re in the blue area, you will get the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders.

Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber and Jason McCourty will have the call.

Los Angeles is currently a 3-point favorite. Sunday’s matchup will begin at 1:05 p.m. PT.

Announcers set for Texans vs. Patriots Week 6 game

The Texans will have two familiar faces on the call Sunday when they take on the Patriots.

The Houston Texans (4-1) will travel eastbound to face off against the New England Patriots (1-4) in a matchup where a new era of football could be underway in Foxborough.

The Patriots are turning to No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye after struggling on offense behind Jacoby Brissett. Internal expectations are for him to remain the franchise signal-caller beyond the three seasons of the Mac Jones reign.

All in all, the Patriots hope Maye is the new Tom Brady.

The Texans’ Week 6 game will air on CBS at noon CT. Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) will lead the broadcast with the help of Trent Green (analyst). Evan Washburn (sidelines) will serve as the on-field broadcaster.

Houston is coming off a 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills, where Ka’imi Fairbairn needed to secure a 59-yard field goal as time expired to break a 20-20 tie. C.J. Stroud threw for 331 yards and a touchdown pass to Nico Collins but never found consistency in the second half.

The defense held Josh Allen in check, allowing just 131 passing yards and a 49-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman. After an intentional grounding call, Houston forced a three-and-out from Buffalo’s 1-yard line to set up Fairbairn in exceptional position.

Meanwhile, New England has struggled to generate points behind Brissettt. Currently on a four-game losing streak, the Patriots have scored over 13 points over their last three games. They’ve scored 20 or more once this season, but it came in a loss against the Seattle Seahawks.

After a 2-1 start, the Texans have won two straight games in close-call fashion. They might be undefeated at home, but Sunday could be a trap outing with Nico Collins now on the injured reserve.

Houston will look to keep its win streak alive while pushing toward the best start in franchise history since 2012. The Texans will also look to hit the over once more as the favorites after winning last week for the first time while favored.

Announcers set for Chargers vs. Broncos Week 6 game

Find out who will be calling the Week 6 game between the Chargers and Broncos.

The Chargers are back in action after their bye week and will face the Broncos on Sunday, Oct. 13, at 1:05 p.m. PT.

The Week 6 game will be televised on CBS. Andrew Catalon, Tiki Barber and Jason McCourty will have the call.

After starting the season 2-0, the Chargers dropped their last two games. Injuries to key players hamstrung Los Angeles. But after the bye, they should be well-rested to try to get back over .500.

The Broncos, on the other hand, have won their last three contests. While they haven’t been very efficient on the offensive side of the ball, their defense, which ranks near the top of the league in various categories, has helped them have the success they’ve had.

Denver has defeated the Bolts in 10 of the last 11 meetings in Mile High City.
