The NFL coverage map for Week 3 makes clear what CBS and Fox consider the best games Sunday's NFL TV schedule has to offer. That's especially the case in Fox's late Sunday afternoon viewing window.
Fox's No. 1 crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call Cowboys at Seahawks as the network's game of the week. While Fox has two other late afternoon games Sunday, it will show the Dallas-Seattle game to most of the country. Buccaneers at Broncos will be shown in many markets, too, thanks to the Tom Brady factor.
