Broncos Vs. Patriots, NFL Playoffs 2012: Announcing Team Features Jim Nantz, Phil Simms

Fresh off announcing the most-watched Wild Card Playoffs game in NFL history, CBS top broadcasating tandem of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will be on hand in Foxborough, Massachusetts when the New England Patriots host Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos in Saturday night's AFC Divisional Playoff game at Gillette Stadium.

42.4 million viewers tuned in for the Broncos' thrilling 29-23 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, making it the most-watched show since Super Bowl XLV, drawing more than 10.6 million more viewers than the previous night's Detroit Lions-New Orleans Saints playoff game on NBC. Between the phenomenon that is Tebow taking on Tom Brady, Bill Belichick in a prime time setting, chances of CBS toping last week's impressive ratings are good.

For more on the two teams, check out Denver Broncos blog Mile High Report and New England Patriots blog Pats Pulpit. For more coverage of the NFL Playoffs, head over toSB Nation’s NFL news hub.
