Week 14 of the 2009 NFL season is here, and it is getting to be crunch time. CBS Sports has the doubleheader. The Jim Nantz led A-Team is assigned to the San Diego Chargers (9-3) - Dallas Cowboys (8-4) game, while Dick Enberg and Dan Fouts get the Denver Broncos (8-4), looking to hold onto their wildcard position and possibly get into a tie for first place in the AFC West if the Chargers falter, taking on the Indianapolis Colts (12-0).
Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf get to travel to frigid Minneapolis (currently 9° F, wind chill of -4° F ) as the NFC North leading Minnesota Vikings (10-2) play host to the AFC North Leading Cincinnati Bengals (9-3). Ian Eagle and Rich Gannon get warm weather but a turkey of a game as they head to Tampa for the game between the 6-6 New York Jets and the 1-11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Over on Fox Sports, the Joe Buck led A-Team makes a rare appearance in Atlanta as the undefeated New Orleans Saints (12-0) visit the Atlanta Falcons (6-6). With Falcons QB Matt Ryan still out with a toe injury, this one could be ugly. Other than this game, there does not look to be a single compelling match-up worth anyone's time to watch. Maybe this is why the largest audience for a game will be 45% for the Saints-Falcons game, and also why there are no sideline reporters assigned for any games except for the Falcons game and the Carolina Panthers (5-7) - New England Patriots (7-5) game (Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa).
NBC Sports has the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) - New York Giants (7-5) battling for first place in the NFC East on Sunday night. ESPN/ESPN Deportes has the Arizona Cardinals (8-4) visiting the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) on Monday Night Football.
