NFL preseason schedule Week 3: Times, dates, TV channels image

Week 3 of the NFL preseason is the week when teams typically play their starters the most, so it's only fitting that fans are awarded 11 games on Saturday and a pair on national TV Sunday.

The second-to-last NFL tuneup starts with three games on Friday, highlighted by Patriots at Panthers and a Lions at Jaguars matchup on CBS. Saturday's 11-game slate includes Steelers at Bills on NFL Network, 49ers at Broncos, Eagles at Packers and Seahawks at Chargers on CBS. Both of Sunday's games will be nationally televised, with the Saints hosting the Texans on FOX and the Cardinals at the Raiders Sunday night on NBC.
