CBS has a somewhat uninspiring Week 6 schedule Sunday. The network can’t even ride the back of Peyton Manning. The Denver-Jacksonville game only will be compelling to those who take the Jaguars and the points.

Sports President David Berson figured it was a good week to try to something new. He decided it was time for a road trip for three of his NFL Today analysts.

Bill Cowher will be the third man in the booth for Pittsburgh-Jets; Boomer Esiason will be at Cincy-Cleveland and Shannon Sharpe will analyze the slaughter in Denver.

“When we looked at the slate of games, we thought why not try something different?” Berson said. “It gives us a chance explore new things with the show and have some fun.”

The former team connection will be an interesting component, especially with Cowher and the Steelers. Jim Nantz, who will call the game with Cowher and Phil Simms, is looking forward to it.

“He’s going to be a tremendous presence on the telecast,” Nantz said. “He’s a Steeler for life. We’re going to try to harness some of that Sunday.”

The analysts will be featured from their venues during the NFL Today Sunday. The road trip, though, also gives CBS the opportunity to showcase former Jet Bart Scott and former Raiders president Amy Trask, who have received high marks on The Other Pregame Show on CBS Sports Network, on Sunday’s noon ET show.

“Bart and Amy have strong opinions and good insights,” Berson said. “They have a good chemistry. We’re excited they are going to get some exposure.”
