Week 3 is the first week that CBS has the nationally televised game in the afternoon. The best game isn’t in the afternoon though. The Chiefs vs. Ravens matchup has huge implications for the playoffs. It’s a tiebreaker game in the early part of the season if both teams play up to expectation for the rest of the season. The AFC West looks to be the Chiefs to take. The Ravens have to be the favorite in the AFC North after Ben Roethlisberger’s injury and the Browns’ disappointing early in the season. Here are the television maps for Week 3 of the regular season. Thanks to 506Sports.com, per usual.
Fox Single Game (1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT and 4:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT)
Let’s be honest, Fox doesn’t have great games this week. In fact, the main crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman aren’t even on a Sunday game this week. The most intriguing game may be Daniel Jones first start for the Giants.
CBS Early Game (1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT)
The game of the week is the early game between Kansas City and Baltimore. Unfortunately for the east coast, they can’t watch the game unless they live in the DMV. Based on the first two weeks, Lamar Jackson would be the NFL’s MVP. It will be interesting to see what John Harbaugh comes up with on both offense and defense to try and slow down the wagon that is the Chiefs offense.
CBS Late Game (4:00 p.m. ET / 1:00 p.m. PT)
It’s one of those weird situations where CBS gets the main game but that game features two NFC teams. New Orleans will play without Drew Brees in the first time in forever. The only blackout area is in Arizona. Carolina will get both afternoon games.
