NFL preseason schedule Week 3: TV coverage, channels, scores for every football game today image

The 2024 NFL season is right around the corner, with each team set for one final tune-up game in Week 3 of the preseason. 

Several of the league's star quarterbacks made their preseason debuts last weekend. Patrick Mahomes played two series in the Chiefs' loss to the Lions, dazzling with a behind-the-back pass that resembled Mahomes at his best. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa had himself a perfect start, finishing 5-for-5 with 51 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Commanders.

Meanwhile, the hype train rolls along for Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. The No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, Williams recorded a pair of electric plays in his second start against the Bengals, sparking a Chicago win.

Among the other rookies, Washington's Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick, had just two incompletions on 12 pass attempts.

The Week 3 slate should bring more debuts and intrigue. Williams and Mahomes are primed to go head-to-head Thursday night, with the promising rookie taking on the two-time MVP.

Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts are among the veteran quarterbacks yet to make their preseason debuts entering Week 3.

The Sporting News has you covered with everything that you need to know in order to watch Week 3 action this weekend.
