As the 2026 NFL season charges into Week 2 on this Sunday, September 20, football fans are still buzzing from a record-setting opening weekend. According to insights gathered by Vulius Sports, Week 1 delivered a combined 791 points across 16 games, tying the NFL record for single-week scoring. The Chicago Bears led the offensive explosion with 59 points, and the league’s high-octane trend shows no signs of slowing down. With the broadcast schedule shifting slightly from last week, Fox and CBS will once again split the Sunday afternoon action, but only Fox will have the privilege of airing games in both the early and late windows.
Fox Dominates with Seven Games, CBS Limited to Six
For Week 2, Fox will broadcast seven of the Sunday afternoon contests, while CBS will carry six. The early window on Fox is split between two intriguing matchups: the Tennessee Titans hosting the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings visiting the Chicago Bears. In the late window, Fox focuses on a pivotal NFC East clash as the Dallas Cowboys host the Washington Commanders. Meanwhile, CBS’s primary early game features the New England Patriots taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a significant portion of the country also receiving the Denver Broncos versus Jacksonville Jaguars matchup in the late slot.
