NFL fans are baffled and unhappy with Fox Sports’ handling of the Week 11 schedule.

Fox Sports assigns their top team of Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt to “America’s Game of the Week”, a title the network assigns to its marquee matchup each week. Without question, the most appealing game carried by Fox this Sunday is the Seattle Seahawks-Los Angeles Rams showdown, with the two NFC West rivals (both 7-2) vying for sole possession of first place in the division.

But for some reason, Fox has decided that “America’s Game of the Week” is a less compelling matchup between the 6-3 Chicago Bears and the 4-5 Minnesota Vikings. That’s the game Brady and Burkhardt will call on Sunday.

And as noted by Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, most of the nation won’t be able to watch the Rams-Seahawks game in the 4:25 p.m. EST window:

Instead, the network’s No. 2 team of Joe Davis and Greg Olsen will be on the call for the Rams-Seahawks clash at SoFi Stadium.

Fans were stunned by Fox’s decision to send the No. 2 team over Brady and Burkhardt to call the Rams-Seahawks clash, as well as the decision that will prevent some fans from watching the marquee matchup.

“What’s shocking is FOX not sending their #1 team to the SEA/LAR game,” a fan wrote.

“West coast teams are an afterthought to many NFL fans,” said another.

“Bears vs Vikings should be the lowest priority out of the 3 games,” a fan commented.

“Insane,” wrote a user.

“As a Vikings fan in Michigan I almost want to see this game more. I’ll be raking leaves during broncos chiefs,” said another.

“And this is why my east coast Seahawks loving self has to pay for the Sunday Ticket every year,” a fan said.

Indeed, it’s an unfortunate break for the fans outside of the western United States who wanted to watch the Rams-Seahawks contest. And it’s not ideal for the NFL that this game will go head-to-head with the Denver Broncos-Kansas City Chiefs clash on CBS.

Both games promise to score big ratings, but going head-to-head means fewer total viewers for each contest, too.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
