Which NFL game should be nationally televised in Week 3?
Week 3 kickstarts a flurry of international games for the NFL during the 2026 season.
Week 3 of the NFL season features an exciting matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The game, set for September 27 at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS, will mark the first time these teams meet in international competition. Both teams enter with 1-1 records after two games, making this matchup a prime candidate for national television.
The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, are coming off a loss to the New Orleans Saints, while the Cowboys defeated the Washington Commanders. With their dual-threat abilities, both quarterbacks are causing concerns for defenses across the league. In Week 3, the Ravens' rushing attack, spearheaded by Derrick Henry, is excelling, with Henry now in third place all-time in NFL rushing touchdowns. The Cowboys' offense, featuring Dak Prescott, has also been impressive, scoring 57 points in the first two weeks.
Defensively, the Cowboys face a challenge in preparing for Jackson's versatile style of play. Meanwhile, the Ravens' defense will have another opportunity to test Dallas' revamped defense. With these intriguing matchups and the international setting, the Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys game stands out as the top choice for national television this Week 3.
