With the Denver Broncos leading the Kansas City Chiefs 31-0 in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game, many CBS networks across the country switched to the Los Angeles Chargers-Las Vegas Raiders matchup, calling it a “more competitive game.”
Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the CBS decision.

CBS just broke away from the KC-Denver game (0-31, Broncos) to cover Chargers-Raiders.

The Broncos are beating the Chiefs so bad that CBS just announced they were switching to a “more competitive game” and started playing the Chargers/Raiders instead. Never seen that happen before.

So did CBS just permanently flip us to the Chargers/Raiders game because Chiefs/Broncos game was so boring? 💀💀

Hey CBS! I was enjoying watching the Broncos stomp out the Chiefs. I should have had another quarter of enjoyment yet you switch to Chargers/Raiders… gross

You know it’s bad when the network switches to “a more competitive game”.
CBS just traded coverage of the Chiefs-Broncos game in Cincinnati, to the Raiders-Chargers game.

CBS switching my broadcast from Broncos to Chargers/Raiders.
I want to see my team clinch and CBS is just salty they aren’t going to get Burrow and Co. in the playoffs.

Broncos first playoff clinching win since 2015 and these motherfuckers take it off my TV? They’ll be receiving a strongly worded letter from me.

CBS cutting coverage of the Broncos game (as they are about to clinch playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade) and showing the punk ass Raiders and Chargers is just unforgivable.

CBS hasn’t switched broadcasts due to blowout from a Denver Broncos game (when DEN has lead) in 11 years.
The only other Bronco quarterbacks that have built a lead so dominating?
Peyton Manning – HOF
Jay Cutler – Cig daddy
John Elway – HOF
Bo Nix – future all time TD leader?— bonixfacts (@bonixfacts) January 5, 2025
With a win over the Chiefs, the Broncos will clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs. Denver will face the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round.
