No matter what happens in Sunday’s game, it’s been a good month for Chiefs fans in one regard.

They will have had some of the best NFL announcers calling the Chiefs’ three games in September. Last week, it was NBC Sports’ Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.

For this Sunday’s Chiefs-Chargers game at Arrowhead Stadium, which will be shown at noon on CBS (KCTV 5 in KC), Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be on the call with Tracy Wolfson working as the sideline reporter. That trio also worked the Chiefs’ season opener.

Two other Sunday afternoon NFL games will be shown in Kansas City.

The Bears-Browns game, which also starts at noon, will air on Fox 4. The Buccaneers-Rams game, which begins at 3:25 p.m., also will air in Kansas City on Fox 4.

As for the Chiefs game, much of the country that won’t have an opportunity to watch on CBS. Here is the TV map for the Chiefs-Chargers game, courtesy of 506Sports.com:

The Chiefs-Chargers game is in red. Bengals-Steelers is in dark green. Ravens-Lions is in yellow. Colts-Titans is in orange. Areas in blue and teal won’t get the Chiefs game. They will be shown only late games. Dolphins-Raiders is in blue. Jets-Broncos is in teal.
