The NFL slate continues in Week 3 — but this week’s Sunday slate is a bit lighter than usual.
There are still more than double-digit games set to take place on the day, however, there are more prime-time games on the docket this week than normal. The NFL has two games scheduled for Monday night, which means there is one less game to be played on Sunday.
The schedule still features a number of intriguing games. In the early window, there are a pair of matchups featuring undefeated squads, with the Vikings hosting the Texans and the Steelers welcoming the Chargers. Someone’s “0” has to go in both of those games.
In the afternoon slate, it’s an NFC West showdown between the 49ers and the Rams in Los Angeles, two rivals that never fail to deliver. In addition, the Cowboys look to get back on track by welcoming the Ravens to Jerry World, where Baltimore is hoping to get its first win of the season.
Below are the full coverage maps for the NFL schedule in Week 3, plus a list of major TV markets and the CBS and Fox games that will be presented in each on Sunday.
