Ready for prime time?
A late-November game in East Rutherford, N.J., rarely presents ideal conditions. And a late-day start time could complicate matters more.
When the NFL moved the Broncos-Jets game Sunday to a 4:15 p.m. start at the Meadowlands (2:15 p.m. MST), the league chose TV star power over ticket-holder comfort. But if you’re a Broncos fan, who cares? The later start time is ideal.
The game could be perfect for TV. Two of the league’s best quarterbacks in Jay Cutler and Brett Favre face off for two division-leading teams. The game has playoff implications written all over it.
CBS’s Kevin Harlan and former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon will handle the call on KCNC-4.
