NFL Week 3 Coverage Maps

Thursday Night Football (NFL Network)
Carolina Panthers (2-0) at Houston Texans (1-1): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
This week’s Thursday night matchup sees Sam Darnold and the 2-0 Panthers hit the road to take on the 1-1 Texans. Davis Mills will make his first career start for Houston as Tyrod Taylor is out with a hamstring injury and Deshaun Watson remains away from the team.
Sunday, Sept. 26
CBS Singleheader
Los Angeles Chargers (1-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) (Red): Jim Nantz, Tony Romo
Cincinnati Bengals (1-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) (Green): Kevin Harlan, Trent Green

New York Jets (0-2) at Denver Broncos (2-0) (Light Blue, 4:05): Spero Dedes, Jay Feely
CBS has the singleheader this week and will send most of the early window to Arrowhead to see the Chiefs-Chargers matchup. Most of the Northeast will be receiving Jets-Broncos at 4:05 where they can see Zack Wilson try to rebound from a four-interception performance against a stout Denver defense.
FOX Early Window
Chicago Bears (1-1) at Cleveland Browns (1-1) (Red): Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen
Atlanta Falcons (0-2) at New York Giants (0-2) (Blue): Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma
New Orleans Saints (1-1) at New England Patriots (1-1) (Green): Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth
Washington Football Team (1-1) at Buffalo Bills (1-1) (Yellow): Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston
Arizona Cardinals (2-0) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) (Orange): Gus Johnson, Aqib Talib
FOX will spotlight Bears-Browns in the early window as Justin Fields makes his first career start for Chicago. The rest of the matchups are regional but fans looking for a crazy game should note that Gus Johnson will be in Jacksonville to call Cardinals-Jaguars.
FOX Late Window
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) at Los Angeles Rams (2-0) (Red): Joe Buck, Troy Aikman
Seattle Seahawks (1-1) at Minnesota Vikings (0-2) (Blue): Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez
America’s Game of the Week is a great one as Tom Brady and the Buccaneers head to Los Angeles to take on the 2-0 Rams in a game that could play a huge role in determining home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. The other game in the window is an interesting Seahawks-Vikings matchup that is a solid undercard for fans in those markets.
Sunday Night Football (NBC)
Green Bay Packers (1-1) at San Francisco 49ers (2-0): Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth
The Sunday night game is a good one as the Packers head out to Santa Clara to take on the 49ers. Aaron Rodgers will look to build on a strong finish against Detroit in Week 2 by taking on a San Francisco team that is very banged up at the running back position.
Monday, Sept. 27
Monday Night Football (ESPN)
Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) at Dallas Cowboys (1-1): Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick
Week 3 wraps up with a stellar Monday night matchup between the Cowboys and Eagles for at least a share of the NFC East lead. There is definitely shootout potential here given the suspect Cowboys defense and talented quarterbacks in the matchup.
