I get the impression that CBS hasn't really given it any thought. Frankly, I can't say that I have either. It would be interesting if they made the conscious decision to refer to the teams by location rather than nickname for games involving Washington.
As for the NFL's response. I think the blanket "we don't tell partners what to say" is smart. Freedom of the press, and arms length relationship is good. While the purpose for this specific case is good, I don't like the idea of a league dictating what broadcasters can and cannot say. The slippery slope is fast and steep on that issue.
