The Week 15 game in Detroit between the Lions and the Buffalo Bills is rightly being touted as a potential Super Bowl preview. Both teams have already clinched postseason berths and have impressive pelts on the victory wall this season. The 12-1 Lions and the 10-3 Bills are each exciting teams with some fun storylines, easy to connect with for even the casual NFL fan.

CBS has leaned hard into hyping up Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. local kickoff. They assigned their headline broadcast team of Jim Nantz and Tony Romo for the matchup, but the network didn’t stop there.

The CBS morning pregame, The NFL Today, will be live from the shadow of Ford Field and Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. There will be a feature interview with Lions head coach Dan Campbell. Expect a lengthy discourse on the heavyweight matchup from the NFL Today panel, which includes former Lions WR Nate Burleson, too.

For those who can’t be in downtown Detroit for the game, it will be the featured late-afternoon broadcast on CBS for much of the country. Every market in red on the map (courtesy 506 Sports) will get Nantz and Romo covering the potential Super Bowl matchup.

For fans who want to split-screen during the Lions game, the Eagles vs. Steelers matchup will be on FOX at the same time and in nearly every broadcast market in the United States.
