If you are seeing GREEN in your region in the map above, you will get the Broncos-Patriots game on your local CBS affiliate. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, however, you will be denied Denver’s game in favor of the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Denver Broncos were looking at playing last week without Drew Lock or A.J. Bouye, but with the postponed game and early Bye Week they both look like they might be ready to go against the New England Patriots. They also got back Phillip Lindsay, while Noah Fant has had nearly two full weeks to rest that ankle he injured on Thursday Night Football.
Lock certainly sounded like a guy who intends to play on Sunday when he spoke with the media on Wednesday.
“When the game got pushed back to Monday night, there was another thought about it,” Lock said. “I was asked a couple more times. When it was officially pulled and placed a week later, and that was technically considered our bye week, it reached that exact point where we thought I could be back and be full go while slinging the ball around the yard again. I’m upset that our game was cancelled, we had a little [change] in schedule and lost our bye week later in the year, but I’m also excited that it means I miss fewer games than I was supposed to, and that makes me happy. I’ll have more games under my belt throughout this season.”
The Patriots are getting plenty of good news themselves. Cam Newton will return to practice on Thursday and will likely be on track to start on Sunday. There are also some rumblings that Stephon Gilmore might be activated off the COVID list in time to play as well.
Kickoff is set for 11:00 a.m. Mile High time on Sunday, October 18, 2020 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on your local CBS station.
