AFC Wild-card Game 2

(6) Tennessee Titans at (3) New England Patriots

Saturday, January 4th, 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT

CBS

CBS gets the best game with the biggest star power, most recognizable national team, and Jim Nantz and Tony Romo all in the primetime slot. CBS executives and their advertising partners have to be ecstatic.

The second the Patriots lost the bye, it was obvious they would play in the Saturday night time frame. Luckily for CBS, NBC didn’t have this game and CBS gets to either see one last gasp from the Patriots or the downfall of the dynasty.

There are storylines galore in this game. Is this Tom Brady’s last game in New England? Do the Patriots have what it takes to sneak into the second round? Does Mike Vrabel know how to beat the Patriots from his time there as a player? Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Jim Nantz, and Tony Romo. Ratings heaven.
