Looking at the NFL TV schedule for Week 5 along with the broadcast map for a stacked slate of games
If you thought the first four weeks of the NFL season were wild, things are just getting started. Though we’re still trying to sort out pretenders and contenders, now is the time where that separation starts to happen. Injuries start to reveal which teams have the depth to sustain success. Moreover, fatigue shows which teams have the right amount of heart. Suffice it to say that these are games you won’t want to miss.
That’s especially true in Week when there are a number of fantastic games on the schedule. Tom Brady returns to the New England Patriots against the Cleveland Browns. A classic Offense vs. Defense matchup goes down with the Atlanta Falcons vs. Denver Broncos. And there’s plenty more.
With these games and more, you’re probably asking when everything is set to go down on Sunday in Week 5. We’ve got you covered.
Let’s take a look at the Week 5 NFL TV schedule to see where you can catch the action on Sunday afternoon:
| Away Team | Home Team | Time (EST) | TV Channel |
