The NFL Today: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

The NFL Today is an American sports-talk television program on CBS that serves as the pre-game show for the network's National Football League (NFL) game telecasts under the NFL on CBS brand. The program features commentary on the latest news around the NFL from its hosts and studio analysts, as well as predictions for the day's games and interviews with players and coaches.
