The network that airs the Super Bowl can try to give one of its shows a ratings boost with prime placement immediately after the big game.

James Van Der Beek (aka Dawson) guest-stars on Sunday's episode, which focuses on a serial killer or killers who quote Bible passages before murdering their victims.
