CBS gets in the NFL preseason with two games in as many days in August. The Tiffany Network will air both in primetime on Friday, August 24 and Saturday, August 25. CBS’ first game will be between the New York Football Giants and the Chicago Bears and I can safely predict that Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will call that game.
The other game, the Houston Texans and the recently penalized New Orleans Saints will probably be called by Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf.
Here’s CBS’ announcement on its NFL preseason schedule.
