The Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens will face off in Week 3 of the NFL preseason as both rosters look to give their starters a bigger run out today and intensify their preparations for the regular season. The game has a scheduled start time of 7.30 p.m. ET and takes place from M&T Bank Stadium. The game can be watched online through live stream via the link below.

Week 3 is a dress rehearsal for most teams for their season openers, so fans can expect their starters to implement the plays and schemes they may be looking to use when the season starts in mid-September.

Baltimore have a long way still to go in their preparations, and last week's 17-40 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles showed they still have much work to do on both sides of the ball.

With a season opener on September 13 against the Denver Broncos at Mile High, the Ravens must to much better or they could face an opening day embarrassment.

Week 3 in the NFL preseason is a big one, with three games taking place on Friday night, and 11 more taking place on Saturday.

On Friday, the New England Patriots were able to obtain a road win over the Carolina Panthers 17-16, and although it was by no means anywhere near a complete performance, they will be pleased to have come out on the right side of the result.

The Patriots are of course dealing with the loss of Tom Brady, who through DeflateGate will miss the opening four games of the regular season. So their top priority is to make sure they cover his big absence well enough not to allow the opening games to undermine their season and push for another Super Bowl.

In other games on Saturday the Kansas City Chiefs continued to look impressive in their preseason warm-ups. The Chiefs claimed a very convincing 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans, and their preseason form will give them hope that they can make a significant impact in the new season.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions looked far from their best, but still saw off a Jacksonville Jaguars team that looks like it is on the way up, but still a few seasons away from being able to seriously compete for postseason spots. The Lions came away from Jacksonville with a 22-17 victory.

Saturday's games feature 11 match ups, and being Week 3 fans can expect a much more intensive affair, with starters being given more field time as final preparations for the new season are put in place. Week 3 is traditionally a time where teams look to ramp things up significantly from previous weeks, and can be more intensive than Week 4 as teams look to be more cautious about injuries in the final preseason week as the new season gets close.
