NFL TV Schedule 2015: Coverage Map, Times, Live Stream Listings for Week 3

Week 3 of the NFL season begins on Thursday night as Washington faces the New York Giants on the road. The Giants find themselves in a must-win situation as they try to keep from falling into an 0-3 hole. That start could eliminate any realistic chance the team might have of making the playoffs.

It's been a rough year so far for the Giants as they've had to deal with poor late-game decisions and the drama surrounding Jason Pierre-Paul's injured hand. An 0-3 start would officially make the 2015 season a nightmare for the Giants and their fans.

That compelling contest is just the start to the week of football. Here's the entire schedule with TV viewing information. All out-of-market NFL games can be live streamed via DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket. The in-market games each have live streaming options from the network that is broadcasting the game locally.

Desperation in Seattle

Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY Sports

Don't look now, but the defending NFC champions are also staring at the potential reality of an 0-3 start. On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will host the Chicago Bears in what represents a must-win for two 0-2 teams.

Seattle has dropped close games to the St. Louis Rams and the Green Bay Packers, while the Bears stuck close to the Pack in Week 1 but were blown out by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is expected to miss the game with a hamstring injury. However, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports that head coach John Fox hasn't ruled Cutler out of Sunday's game in Seattle. 

Fox said: "We’re just taking it day to day. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. And we don’t rule anybody out for games until Friday.” It would be a major shock if Cutler were to even suit up for the game despite Fox's evasiveness.

Jimmy Clausen will likely get the start and per this tweet from Zach Zaidman of the Chicago Bears radio network, that probably isn't a good sign for the Bears and their fans:

The Only Battle of Unbeaten Teams

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Believe it or not, the only game between undefeated teams is Sunday's Atlanta Falcons at Dallas Cowboys tilt. It's a minor miracle that the Cowboys are still perfect this season considering the amount of injuries the team has already suffered.

Dallas lost cornerback Orlando Scandrick for the season during training camp. Dez Bryant will miss 10-12 weeks of action after a bone graft was performed by doctors to promote healing in his injured foot.

Quarterback Tony Romo was placed on the injured reserve/designated to return list after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2, per Fox Sports. What's left of the Cowboys will have to try to contain and keep pace with the duo of Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

Atlanta's QB-WR tandem has combined for 276 yards and two touchdowns in two weeks. Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring issue, per ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure, but he has not been ruled out.

With the injuries the Cowboys are dealing with, you can bet they won't feel sorry for the Falcons if Jones can't go. We'll see which team is able to remain undefeated when the dust settles.
