Here’s how to watch and stream NFL Thursday Night Football Week 3 games live online for free without cable: NBC, Amazon

Both teams are in a three-way tie for second place in the division, 1-1, although the Patriots came close last week when they lost in overtime to the Seattle Seahawks, and both teams will be looking to make a statement this week.

For the Jets, it’s a chance to get back on track after last week’s loss to the Giants, and for Aaron Rogers to make a better impression on fans after a mediocre start to the season. The Patriots are still working through the issues with new head coach Jerod Mayo and quarterback Jacoby Brissett, a nine-year veteran who many were surprised to see in the starting lineup this season after the team drafted Drake Maye with the No. 3 pick.

Here’s how to watch this week’s game and what to expect from Thursday night games tonight (and in the weeks to come).

Can I watch Thursday night NFL games on TV for free?

It really depends on where you live. Thursday night games can only be watched over-the-air if you are in the broadcast areas of both teams playing. Otherwise, you will need an Amazon Prime account.

Can I stream NFL Thursday night games live online if I don’t have an Amazon Prime account?

That’s not possible. Amazon has exclusive rights to all Thursday night games, except Thanksgiving night. Other streaming services cannot broadcast them.

Who is Amazon’s broadcast team?

The live commentary will again be provided by the experienced Al Michaels. Kirk Herbstreit will again provide color commentary.

Does the NFL offer any television packages for Thursday night games?

Yes. The NFL-App allows you to stream games that are broadcast locally in your market as well as games that are played during prime time.
