The Atlanta Falcons will host the Arizona Cardinals in their third game of the 2017 NFL preseason. Here is how to watch the exhibition game online.
The third week of the 2017 NFL preseason is upon us. One of the games you absolutely have to try to watch on Saturday has to be the one between the Arizona Cardinals and the Atlanta Falcons. Not just because these are two teams that will contend for the NFC Playoffs, but Atlanta will be opening brand-new Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Kickoff from Atlanta will be at 7:00 p.m. ET on August 26. CW69 will have the local telecast in the Greater Atlanta area. NBC 12 will have the local telecast in the Greater Phoenix area. The available live streams can be found on NFL Game Pass and FuboTV.
Arizona looks to get back into the NFC Playoffs after a year away from them in 2016. The Cardinals struggled in special teams and saw a regression from quarterback Carson Palmer coming off a career high. However, the Cardinals will stand as the biggest threat to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West this year. With a favorable schedule, Arizona should be in line to reach the playoffs as a wild card team
Atlanta is coming off its best season in franchise history. While the Super Bowl LI collapse was embarrassing, the Falcons return one of the most complete rosters in football. Some don’t believe in the Falcons because of a few changes at coordinator, but guys like Dan Quinn, Julio Jones, Vic Beasley and Matt Ryan remain in Flowery Branch. If Atlanta doesn’t reach the NFC Playoffs again, the year was a complete failure.
