The NFL is not letting up. Week three of the 2022-23 season will see a dream game 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 started to play in Florida.
The Bucs have come out on top in the other two competitions, including the 2021 NFC Championship, but it’s still guaranteed to be a classic game, especially after the Bears’ beating by Green Bay last week.
Quarterbacks are becoming an endangered species in the NFL, in fact. 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 who and how best to catch the match.
Which NFL teams are playing this week? And which channels broadcast the games?
Last year, the New York Giants were one of the worst teams in the league, but they could end the weekend with a 3-0 record as they face an injury-plagued Dallas. Meanwhile, the Titans or Raiders, two teams many expected to be in the playoffs, could be looking at an 0-3 record. Here’s who’s playing where and when. (The home team is seeded second.)
