NFL TV Maps: Seahawks headline boring slate of games in Seattle
By Keith Myers
NFL TV Maps for Week 3. The Seattle area only gets two games this week, and one of those is our Seahawks who are at home against the 49ers.
If you’re looking for the Seattle Seahawks game on the NFL TV Maps this week, you’ll find it in the late slot on Fox. A large portion of the Western US is getting this game as its only Fox game this week.
Interestingly, Fox is sending Kevin Burkhardt and John Lynch to call the game. This is considered their C-team, which suggests that they don’t see this game as being a marquee game that’ll have a large viewership nationally. The epic 2012-2013 matchups seems like such a long time ago now.
The NFL’s annoying 2-and-1 rules means that the Seattle market only gets two games on local TV this week. CBS is unable to show an afternoon game that competes with Fox’s broadcast of the local team.
The only other game we get on Sunday is Denver-Cincinatti. That should end up being a defensive struggle with very little offense or scoring. While it is a matchup of two teams that appear destined to be playoff teams, it doesn’t look like it’ll be a particularly fun game to watch.
