Fans tuned in to the morning divisional playoff game between the Browns and Chiefs on CBS were greeted with a blank screen in parts of the country, forcing them to miss part of the first quarter.
Some tuned in to CBS for its pre-game programming and noticed that the show and the game itself were blacked out, leading some to believe there was some foul play going on. :

With the network turned off, some viewers finally picked up the channel around 3:15 p.m., a few minutes after the match began. Most fans were able to nab the game’s first score, but it’s safe to assume that the NFL and network executives won’t be happy with the outage.
Viewers shared their experiences during the dark Sunday period:
Umm @CBS is nothing more than a blank screen for the moment via XFINITY. All other channels work, even the AKC dog show

Why is CBS down?
While no official word has come from CBS, viewers at Comcast, Spectrum and DirecTV have all referred to issues viewing the channel as the Chiefs vs Browns division game kicks off.
For those trying to figure out how to fix the situation, the only option seems to be to wait – the game has finally returned to the network, with some vendors acknowledging the outage.
VERIZON SUPPORT: We are aware of the outage on the CBS channel, working to restore services as soon as possible
