The NFL isn’t taking its foot off the gas. Week three of the 2022-2023 season will see a dream match as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers face off as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet the Green Bay Packers, the third collision of these two teams since Brady began playing in Florida.
The Bucs have come out on top in both of the other contests, including the 2021 NFC Championship, but it’s still guaranteed to be classic match, especially after Green Bay’s drubbing of the Bears last week.
Quarterbacks are becoming an endangered species in the NFL, actually. After Dak Prescott was sidelined with a thumb injury that will require surgery two weeks ago, Chargers QB Justin Herbert suffered a rib injury last week.
Here’s a look at who’s playing whom and how best to catch the game.
Which NFL teams are playing this week? And what channels are airing the games?
Last year the New York Giants were one of the league’s worst teams, but they could end the weekend with a 3-0 record as they face an injury-plagued Dallas. Meanwhile, the Titans or the Raiders, two teams many expected to be playoff bound, could be looking at a 0-3 record. Here’s who’s playing where and when. (The home team is listed second.)
