Guide Note

This page contains the schedule and other news and information pertaining to the third week of the 2008 season in the National Football League. The games will be played on Sunday September 21 and Monday September 22. For the second straight, CBS Sports has the doubleheader nationally. FOX Sports usually gets the doubleheader for the first week because CBS covers the U.S. Open Men's Tennis championship match. Key contests include the battle for bragging rights in the Keystone State as the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers. 65 years ago, the two teams merged to save expenses because of World War II, and were called the "Steagles". Another anticipated Sunday game features two of the three AFC South teams to qualify for the playoffs in 2007 as Jacksonville visits Indianapolis. The Sunday night game features the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Green Bay Packers, while all our rowdy friends on Monday night will watch the New York Jets square off with the San Diego Chargers. Only twice in league history has a team started the season 0-3 and still qualified for the playoffs.
