The game will not be carried locally on CBS.
“Sunday is a single header weekend for CBS affiliates so every CBS station across the country only gets to carry one game. Because Dayton is a secondary Bengals market and the Bengals' ratings have been historically much higher than the Browns' ratings, we've been assigned the Cincinnati @ Seattle game. While we'd like to carry both games, unfortunately that's not an option. Please be assured that when there is an option, we will ask to be assigned to the Browns games.”
The NFL, not CBS, decides which Sundays are double header and which are single header.
