With the NFL moving the September 27 game between the Titans and Jets from 4:15 p.m. EDT to 1:00 p.m. EDT in order to ensure that the contest is completed before the start of Yom Kippur at sundown that same day, the league needed to slide another game featuring an AFC franchise as the road team from 1:00 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. EDT. CBS televises all Sunday afternoon games involving two AFC teams (or one AFC team when the AFC team isn’t the home team), and FOX broadcasts all Sunday afternoon games involving two NFC teams (or one NFC team when the NFC team isn’t the home team). The other games that could have been bumped from 1:00 p.m. EDT to 4:00 p.m. EDT were Browns at Ravens, Jags at Texans, and Chiefs at Eagles. The late games of the CBS doubleheader also include Broncos at Raiders and Dolphins at Chargers.
