As NFC teams, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers have typically had the majority of their games broadcast on FOX for the last three decades.
But since the start of the 2023 season, the NFL has eliminated the restrictions that previously prevented CBS from broadcasting a game that was traditionally classified as an NFC contest (two NFC teams facing one another or an NFC team on the road against an AFC team).
So, for the second time in the last three weeks, the Vikings will be taking part in a matchup with another NFC team that will be broadcast on CBS. Three of Minnesota's four games this season have actually been televised on CBS, with the team's Week 1 win over the New York Giants being the only contest not to be shown on CBS (it was broadcast on FOX).
