Week 3 of the NFL features a ton of matchups that fans are going to want to tune in for, none more so than when the New Orleans Saints take on the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. The Saints will be without the face of the franchise in Drew Brees, and the intrigue of the quarterback situation is sure to draw fans’ attention. It’s unclear whether Teddy Bridgewater or Taysom Hill will get the start, which is just how Saints coach Sean Payton wants it.
The broadcast map from 506 Sports highlights the coverage for each of the games during the late slate. The Saints-Seahawks kickoff will be nationally televised on CBS at 3:25 p.m. CT. Areas that are covered in red will have the Saints-Seahawks game, while those in blue will see the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers face off. The green patches will be able to view the Houston Texans-LA Chargers game.
The Seahawks have started the season 2-0, taking down the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks have recently added to their wealth of talent by signing Ziggy Ansah in the offseason and trading for Jadeveon Clowney. Quarterback Russell Wilson has also gotten off to a torrid start this season by throwing five touchdown passes without giving away an interception. The Saints will be in for a challenge on both sides of the ball on Sunday.
New Orleans will be without Brees, who has just undergone thumb surgery They’ll also be missing and linebacker Alex Anzalone, who was placed on the injured reserve list. Bridgewater and Hill will have to pick up the slack for Brees in his absence. The defense will also need to start tightening their play up if the team hopes to compete against the Seahawks on Sunday, but the league’s most-productive pass rush could help tip the scales against an always-rough Seahawks offensive line.
