The Houston Texans take the primetime stage at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers.
As the battle in what could be a potential Super Bowl preview takes place in Week 7, the top crew for CBS will be on the call at noon CT. Jim Nantz will handle the play-by-play. Tony Romo will serve as the color commentator.
Tracy Wolfson will handle sideline reporter duties once more.
Both the Texans (5-1) and Packers (4-2) are coming off impressive wins behind an impressive performance from each young passer. C.J. Stroud tossed three touchdowns against one interception and completed over 65% of his passes en route to a 41-21 win over the New England Patriots.

Meanwhile, Jordan Love completed 22-of-32 pass attempts for 258 yards and four touchdowns against one interception. Nine receivers caught a pass, including Romeo Doubs, who returned from his one-game suspension to haul in a pair of scores.
“Going against Jordan Love this week, it will be the best quarterback we’ve seen this year,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday. “So, it’ll be a really, really tough matchup, really good team. Green Bay has done a great job this year just – they’re explosive on offense. And they pose a lot of challenges not only with Love, but the guys he’s getting the ball to.”
The winner of Sunday’s game should garner national praise as a contender for the big game in New Orleans. Green Bay opens as a 2.5-point favorite at home.
