The game between Chiefs and Chargers will commence at 8:20 P.M. EST on NBC where as the encounter between Bengals and Steelers will move to 4:25 P.M. EST on CBS. Interestingly this is Chiefs’ third of listed four games on Sunday Night. Previously they beat Bucs and Titans in OverTime, and will be locking horns against the unpredictable Broncos under the lights on December 11th.

On the other hand, Los Angeles Chargers are bound to appear on Sunday Night Football in straight weeks. After this, the former team will travel to San Francisco to lock horns against 49ers in prime time as well.
