With CBS, ESPN, Fox and NBC finished with their NFL exhibition game schedules, the only place to see any of this coming week’s games is on the NFL Network.
It will air three live games including the Cowboys at Minnesota on Friday, but I doubt you’ll see Brett Favre in that game. Here’s the schedule of games.
EXHIBITION SEASON WEEK 4:
QBs MICHAEL VICK, BRETT FAVRE &
MARK SANCHEZ LIVE ON NFL NEWORK – THE ONLY PLACE FOR WEEK 4 PRESEASON ACTION
Live Telecasts This Week:Eagles at Jets, Thursday at 7:00 PM ET
Raiders at Seahawks, Thursday at 10:00 PM ET
Cowboys at Vikings, Friday at 8:00 PM ET
Three quarterbacks in their final 2009 exhibition games with new clubs highlight NFL Network’s exclusive Week 4 action.
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who completed all four of his passes in his exhibition season debut last week, and recently named Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez are in focus in NFL Network’s first live game on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 7:00 PM ET.
Later Thursday night at 10:00 PM ET, former division rivals Seattle and Oakland meet to close out the exhibition season for the fourth consecutive year.
On Friday, Sept. 4 at 8:00 PM ET, Brett Favre and the Vikings get in their final exhibition game tune-up against the Dallas Cowboys.
All of the remaining preseason Week 4 games will be encored over Labor Day weekend to give fantasy players one last look at the potential stars and sleepers of 2009.
During the 2009 NFL preseason, NFL Network will televise a record 65 games – up from the 54 shown in 2008. The exhibition game schedule, which is entirely in HD for the first time, also includes a record 12 live games and 97 encore telecasts so that no one will miss a game.

So with most teams not playing their starters in the fourth exhibition game, the networks except for NFL Network have been given a pass from showing this week’s games. Good on the NFL for not su
bjecting fans to the network announcing crews for the final week of exhibition games.
