NFL fans saw numerous notable players – including quarterbacks Jayden Daniels, Jaxson Dart and Caleb Williams – go down with significant injuries in Week 2. All will be hoping Week 3 will be kinder to their respective teams.
Week 3 will feature several marquee matchups, including an anticipated clash between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams on "Sunday Night Football." The league's international slate will also continue in Week 3, though the Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys game in Rio de Janeiro won't be broadcast as a stand-alone game. It will be part of the late window of a 13-game Sunday afternoon NFL slate.
Per usual, Fox and CBS will split the rights to those 13 games just about down the middle. CBS will have the rights to seven
of the games while Fox will possess the rights to six, an exact flip of the networks' split from Week 2.
This week, CBS will be able to broadcast a game in both the early- and late-afternoon windows. Fox will be limited to showing just one game per region.

As for CBS, its big draw will be the Ravens-Cowboys game in the late window. The Rio game will be a near-national broadcast, as one of the two believed playoff contenders will drop to 1-2 after the contest, barring a tie.
