CBS Gets Dream AFC Championship Matchup, New England at Denver

Posted by on Jan 12, 2014 22:00

CBS could not be happier with the #1 vs. #2 matchup in next Sunday’s AFC Championship. The only drawback is that it’s the early game on Sunday, January 19 as the NFC Championship on Fox gets the late slot.

The AFC Championship between the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos will air on CBS at 3 p.m. ET. The NFL Today will begin the Tiffany Network’s coverage at 2 p.m. live from CBS’ world headquarters in New York.

Jim Nantz, Phil Simms and Tracy Wolfson will be in Denver for the call.

This will mark the 4th time that quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will meet in the AFC Championship game and you know that CBS will play that angle up.

Here’s CBS’ press release.
