For the second straight week, the Buffalo Bills are hosting a 1pm game at the new Highmark Stadium, and get this: a massive chunk of the country is going to be watching Joe Brady’s squad face off against the New England Patriots this Sunday afternoon in the early window on CBS.

Early Window Domination

You saw that broadcast map, right? It’s wild how much love Buffalo is getting again, with a rather enormous segment of the country tuning in for this Week 4 matchup. It really is “lots of love for Buffalo,” no doubt about it. Ian Eagle and Ross Tucker, CBS’s No. 2 crew, are on the call for this one. And yeah, those guys are legit, even if they aren’t Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt, who’ve been killing it together as the No. 1 crew, in my opinion.

Why This Game Is No Joke

Don’t let that 1pm slot fool you, either. This isn’t just some throwaway game. The Bills are at home, sure, but they’re going up against the squad that went to the Super Bowl from the AFC last season: the New England Patriots. That’s a high-magnitude contest, no question. It’s a huge reminder that you don’t need a late window or one of those primetime spots for a game to mean something big.

This is Week 4, folks, and seeing a game with these kinds of stakes get this level of early-window coverage tells you everything. You best believe both teams are coming out swinging. It’s going to be appointment viewing for a huge portion of the NFL world this Sunday.
