CBS Unveils Schedule for 2011-2012 NFL Season — If There Is a Season

Network will broadcast the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills 14 times each

CBS has announced its broadcast schedule for the 2011-2012 NFL season — that is, if there is a season.

CBS will mark its 52nd year of covering pro football with 106 AFC games over the 17-week of regular-season.

The network will broadcast the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills 14 times; the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns 13 times each; the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins 12 times; the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars 11 times; the New England Patriots, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers 10 times; and the AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts nine times apiece.

CBS’ Thanksgiving Day game will feature the Miami Dolphins at the Dallas Cowboys.

The regular season schedule is followed by a full post-season slate including the AFC Wild Card playoff game on January 8, 2012, two divisional playoff games on January 14 and January 15 and the AFC Championship Game on January 22.

Again, the schedule is subject to change, with NFL players and owners involved in a contract dispute that currently has the players "locked out" by the owners.

However, the season doesn't start until Sept. 11 — still plenty of time for an agreement.
