The NFL season is underway and Week 1 brought with it a ton of storylines and drama for the upcoming season. The return of football also saw the NFL spread out a lot of games over the course of the weekend, with action coming on Wednesday and Thursday in addition to a double doubleheader on Sunday before games to wrap it up on Sunday and Monday night.
Week 2 sees the more standard cadence of Thursday, Sunday and Monday games, which is a rarity given how much the league likes to spread out its inventory. There are a few intriguing games throughout the day on Sunday, including Bears-Vikings and Bengals-Texans, but what contests will be available in your area?
Read on for a look at that information, as well as who is calling each game, with a look at the NFL's Week 2 TV Coverage Maps. As always, the maps are provided by the fine folks over at 506 Sports.
