NFL Network Plays Offense For NFL Preseason

That’s means that reruns of Hard Knocks from 2010 featuring the New York Jets get relegated to down-time in the morning and afternoon, while reruns of just-played NFL pre-season games – and a live game on Aug. 13 – get prime-time slots.

NFL Network kicks off its game coverage on Aug. 11 with a showing of the Baltimore Ravens at the Philadelphia Eagles, beginning at 11 PM (ET), not long after the actual game itself will end.

The network has four games scheduled for Aug. 12 – all of which have been played and completed, including Jacksonville at New England, Denver at Dallas and Arizona at Oakland.

NFL Network then goes all-out on Aug. 14 and 15, virtually bumping all other programming to show completed games and, at 7:30 PM (ET), the Packers live at the Browns.

In all, NFL Network said it would air all 64 preseason games. The opening week (all times ET):
