NFL coverage map 2019: TV schedule Week 2

Week 2 of the 2019 NFL regular season is here, and after a wild opening week featured an insane Monday Night Football finish between the New Orleans Saints and Houston Texans, fans can only imagine the storylines that will unfold this week.

While the start to the 2019 NFL regular season was far from ideal, as fans had to sit through a Thursday Night Football snoozefest between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, the football week concluded with a crazy Monday Night Football battle in primetime between the Houston Texans and New Orleans Saints.

Looking at the schedule, Week 2 promises to be even crazier. Here’s a look at the coverage maps for the upcoming week of football so that you can check out which games will be available in your market on Sunday.

Thursday Night Football: Carolina Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This should be a fun one. The Panthers couldn’t quite come back against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, while the Buccaneers are in need of a bigger bounce-back performance after Jameis Winston threw two pick-sixes in the first game of what could be his final year as the team’s franchise quarterback.

CBS Broadcast Map

Blue: Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots

Green: New York Giants vs. Buffalo Bills

Yellow: Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Orange: Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts

Light blue: Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Red: Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs (late)

Because of the ubiquity of New England Patriots fans in the United States, a wide swath of the country will be forced to watch the team that once again embarrassed the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 embarrass the totally-not-tanking Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

That said, the two AFC South games look like they could be incredible, especially after what the Titans did to the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. And can Jacoby Brissett have another strong performance that actually culminates in a win?

As for the Jaguars vs. Texans, it will be exciting to see Gardner Minshew get a full start, and it will also be equally exciting to wait in anticipation for Bill O’Brien to bungle another game.

The Raiders vs. Chiefs look far more compelling after Derek Carr torched the Denver Broncos in shocking fashion on Monday Night Football. Antonio, who? It’s all about Tyrell Williams now.

FOX Early Games

Red: Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys

Blue: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Seattle Seahawks

Green: Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Francisco 49ers

Yellow: Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings

Orange: Baltimore Ravens vs. Arizona Cardinals

Since Washington gave the Philadelphia Eagles quite a scare last week, their widely-televised game against Dallas should be more than just a classic rivalry. Even though the Cowboys are legitimate Super Bowl contenders and much better than their opponents on paper, this should be a great game.

The same can be said for the rivalry matchup between the Packers and Vikings that has serious playoff implications. Or the Seahawks vs. Steelers game, especially if the Pittsburgh offense bounces back (and starts throwing it to James Washington over Donte Moncrief).

FOX Late Games

Red: Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints

Blue: Denver Broncos vs. Chicago Bears

Apologies to all of those who have to watch Mitchell Trubisky vs. Joe Flacco instead of the heated rematch of the controversial NFC Championship Game.

Sunday Night Football: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

If the Falcons offense shows up for this one, these two teams could put on an instant classic.

Monday Night Football: New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns.

Yikes.
