Looking at the NFL Week 3 TV schedule and broadcast maps for all of Sunday’s action around the league.
Can you believe that we are heading into the third weekend of the 2017 NFL regular season? We waited all offseason for some football and now the year is starting to fly right by. Not only is it going fast, but some teams are already trending down a path towards not making the playoffs after only two games.
Needless to say, their are some must-win scenarios across the league on Sunday afternoon.
For example, the Los Angeles Chargers came into this season as one of the “teams to watch”, but they are 0-2 with a game against the dominant Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. Another example would be the New York Giants. The G-Men made the playoffs in 2016, but are staring at starting the year 0-3 with an extremely important match-up against their division-rival, the Philadelphia Eagles.
That said, there are numerous must-win scenarios this weekend, which will make for some great football.
Here’s a look at the TV schedule for NFL Week 3:
| Away Team | Home Team | Time (EST) | TV Channel |
| Baltimore Ravens | Jacksonville Jaguars | 9:30 AM | Yahoo |
| Atlanta Falcons | Detroit Lions | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| Denver Broncos | Buffalo Bills | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | Chicago Bears | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| Cleveland Browns | Indianapolis Colts | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Minnesota Vikings | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| Houston Texans | New England Patriots | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| Miami Dolphins | New York Jets | 1:00 PM | CBS |
| New York Giants | Philadelphia Eagles | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| New Orleans Saints | Carolina Panthers | 1:00 PM | FOX |

| Cincinnati Bengals | Green Bay Packers | 4:25 PM | CBS |
| Kansas City Chiefs | Los Angeles Chargers | 4:25 PM | CBS |
| Oakland Raiders | Washington Redskins | 8:30 PM | NBC |
If there’s one game that I would circle for Sunday afternoon, it’s the Atlanta Falcons versus the Detroit Lions. With both teams still undefeated, we will see who the team-to-beat is in the NFC after three weeks. Not to mention, it would give one team a huge playoff tie-breaker over the other.
