TARAsia Fan:
Because the delay was so minute, I didn't bother to post.

Why CBS gets the post-4pm games two weeks in a row is unknown, but they do. Oct. 11 will have 3 games in the 415pm (not 405pm like this past weekend) time slot:
New England vs. Denver
Houston vs. Arizona
Jacksonville vs. Seattle
TARAsia Fan:
It's the way the NFL tries to balance things out with the TV partners.
theschnauzers:
apskip, this past weekend wasn't a double-header weekend -- it was the fact that CBS choose to seC East rivalry game to much of the large urban centers in the eastern 2/3rds of the US. And as long as I can remember, the NFL has set home games for the Dolphins during the early part of the season in late afternoon. (I used to be a Dolphin season ticket owner before I left Miami and the stated reason was that the playing field and the stadium got too hot at 1 pm during September-early October.)
TARAsia Fan:
I think ap was talking about in Weeks 2 and 3 where CBS got the doubleheader. The NFL usually does that for CBS. Down the road, Fox will get two consecutive doubleheaders down the road. Then on Week 17, both CBS and Fox will get a doubleheader giving both networks 9 doubleheaders.
