Jim Nantz will be the television voice of many Kansas City Chiefs games in 2024, but he believes that Andy Reid and the Chiefs aren't thrilled about some of the chaotic details of their schedule.
with plenty of short weeks, primetime matchups, and holiday games. The predominant television play-by-play voice for the Chiefs in '24 will likely be Jim Nantz, half of CBS's primary NFL crew alongside color commentator Tony Romo. After the schedule was released, Nantz shared his thoughts regarding the hurdles the Chiefs will have to clear in their quest to three-peat., and Eisen began by asking Nantz how many Kansas City showdowns he believed he'd be calling this season.
"I've got probably five of them at least," Nantz said. "Eight Chiefs games are on CBS during the season, so let's go through it: Week 2 , yes. Week 4 , yes. Possibly Week 10 . Week 11 , yes. Right now, Week 12 , believe it or not, that's our primary game on a regional week, is KC at Carolina. And then probably the game at Denver on Week 18, who knows, that's a crapshoot, but I just rattled off five that I would say are pretty certain.
Then the conversation moved to the challenges of the Chiefs' schedule. Eisen noted that the Chiefs are the first team to be scheduled to play six days of the week in one season since the 1927 New York Yankees. Eisen noted that NFL teams and coaches generally dislike anything to derail their typical in-season routine, while the Chiefs may not even be able to claim much "routine" in 2024.
"I'm sure Andy Reid is not happy with that schedule," Nantz said. "Particularly, as you get late in the season, you mentioned it, the Saturday the 21st to have a game against Houston and then to turn around and play on Christmas Day — for the second straight year, by the way, they play on Christmas Day — Tony and I were there for the Raiders at KC on Christmas Day this past season, but then they'll be at Pittsburgh this year, that's not gonna be a whole lot of fun.
