Week 17 NFL broadcast maps: Will your local market carry the Saints-Eagles matchup?

Week 17 NFL broadcast maps: Will your local market carry the Saints-Eagles matchup?

The Week 17 NFL broadcast coverage maps are in, and Sunday’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles on New Year’s Day will be shown in select markets running from coast to coast. Whether or not star quarterback Jalen Hurts will be leading the 13-2 Eagles remains to be seen, but the 6-9 Saints are just hoping to keep their season alive with playoff hopes on the brink.

Philly faithful in their home market on the East Coast will catch the game on their local FOX affiliates, as will Saints fans across much of the Gulf South — but the game is also going to be shown across most of Texas, and surprisingly, in the Los Angeles market out on the West Coast. You can check for local coverage on the 506sports.com broadcast map shown below, with Saints-Eagles coverage featured in blue:

NFL announces time and date for Week 15 Saints-Falcons game

The NFL announced its time and date for Week 15 Saints vs. Falcons game amid announcements on multiple flex scheduling moves:

There we go: we’ll have to thank the NFL schedule-makers for not waiting until after Monday night’s game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to announce when the New Orleans Saints will play their next game. New Orleans will come out of its bye week and host the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 18 with kickoff scheduled at noon CT. TV coverage will be broadcast regionally on FOX. The game’s time and date was previously listed as to-be-determined.

So make your travel plans accordingly. This game might have been scheduled differently had the Falcons not ended their Week 13 game with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a last-minute Marcus Mariota interception, but that’s in the past now. Odds are this matchup won’t be quite as compelling as hoped, but we’ll see. Maybe the Saints can knock off Tampa Bay on the road and plan to exit their bye week and go on a run. They aren’t mathematically eliminated from the playoffs just yet, after all.

As for other changes on Monday’s Week 15 flex scheduling update; three games will be played on Saturday, Dec. 17 on NFL Network:

  • 12:00 p.m. CT: Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings

  • 3:30 p.m. CT: Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns

  • 7:15 p.m. CT: Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills

Analysis: Examining Jameis Winston’s injury, how Pete Werner and Alontae Taylor shine

Analysis: Examining Jameis Winston’s injury, how Pete Werner and Alontae Taylor shine, via @MaddyHudak_94:

The New Orleans Saints lost their first regular season game against the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 somewhat inexplicably. It’s a difficult ask for the defense to pitch a shutout against Brady twice—though they did so through the first half. While they’ve performed at Super Bowl caliber, the offense looked like a group of strangers. Despite the overwhelming weapons at wide receiver, New Orleans could not sustain drives or momentum past the opening series. The offense has been out of sync barring one quarter this season.

Head coach Dennis Allen in his postgame remarks referred to the turnover battle as the story of this matchup and noted it was the deciding factor in Sunday’s loss. It doesn’t explain everything, but the game was tied until the fourth quarter. Five turnovers are insurmountable. Mark Ingram has to be better at ball protection to remain the next man up in the absence of Alvin Kamara.

The focus, ultimately, was on Jameis Winston’s turnovers and inaccuracy on deep balls. I think the back injury took people off guard, myself included, and it was hard to evaluate that inside the game in real-time. That, in tandem with the deep throws that were leaned on perplexingly given how they failed, made me explore his play on film deeper. I also did some research on his specific spinal fractures. Here’s what I saw:

Analysis: New playmakers emerge on Saints defense in Week 1 win

Analysis: New playmakers like Justin Evans and Marcus Maye emerged on the Saints defense in their Week 1 win in Atlanta, via @MaddyHudak_94:

The New Orleans Saints salvaged their season opener to defeat the Atlanta Falcons through impeccable fourth-quarter play. Otherwise, it wasn’t pretty. Taysom Hill, plainly, was the entire offense through three quarters. He ran in 2 of the team’s 4 total first downs in the first half. New Orleans converted a mere 3 of 11 third down attempts prior to the fourth quarter.

Then Jameis Winston briefly entered the injury tent and proceeded to play the best quarter of his career. He amassed 75 passing yards in his first scoring drive. The offense converted 10 passing first downs in the final quarter alone. Winston brought poise under center that had felt absent since Drew Brees retired – doing so with zero turnovers. That calm command was matched in the kicking game with Wil Lutz’s return. After missing a 44-yard attempt early on Sunday afternoon, Lutz recorded a 49-yarder in the third quarter and sealed the victory with 19 seconds left on a 51-yard field goal. The Saints found a way to win, but it wasn’t pretty. Let’s take a deeper look after reviewing the tape:

TV coverage map for Packers vs. Vikings in Week 1 of 2022

Here’s who can see the Packers face the Vikings in the season opener on FOX on Sunday afternoon.

Most of the country will get to see the Green Bay Packers (0-0) take on the Minnesota Vikings (0-0) in the season opener on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

The game is to be broadcasted by FOX at 3:25 p.m. CT and will be called by Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, the network’s new No. 1 tandem.

The only competing game in the timeslot is Giants at Titans, so big parts of New England, Tennessee and Kentucky won’t get to see the Packers. But the rest of the country has no conflicts, making Sunday’s opener close to a nationwide broadcast.

Seahawks coordinator Clint Hurtt wants a more aggressive defense

Seattle Seahawks coordinator Clint Hurtt spoke to the local media and said he wants a more aggressive defense going forward.

Seahawks assistant Clint Hurtt is one step closer to becoming a head coach now that Seattle has promoted him to defensive coordinator. Hurtt spoke to the media on Wednesday for the first time since earning his position.

He wasted no time in outlining the plan for the Seahawks’ defense going forward.

“One thing that is going to be significantly different this year, we are going to be aggressive,” Hurtt said. “We want that. The aggressiveness is going to have to come from our guys up front getting after the passer, continuing on being strong in the run game like we have been in last few years. That’s the mentality of a defense that we want to have, and our players respond to that mentality.”

Seattle struggled on both sides of the ball last season, leading to the team parting ways with multiple members of the coaching staff. But as for the defense, Hurtt now has a chance to do things his way.

“Obviously, that comes down to one, how you coach it, and two, how you call it,” Hurtt explained of his vision. “So the aggressiveness and attacking offenses, but at the same time challenging the quarterback and making it hard on him not just with a rush but also with coverage.

“That’s where we’re going to be and that’s what we want to make big improvements.”
