What TV channel is Cowboys vs. Ravens on today? Time, TV schedule for NFL preseason game
And while the team has yet to begin practicing at The Star in Frisco, they will take on the next opponent in the Baltimore Ravens Satruday night. The team released their second unofficial depth chart earlier in the week, without much difference from the first. The club didn't play any of the starters in the opener, but several will be available for action in the second of three exhibitions before the team's schemes and strategies are actually unveiled.
That comes in the regular season opener, the Thursday Night kickoff against the defending NFC East, NFC and Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles on September 4. Fans have limited opportunities to acclimate themselves with the down-roster players, and Saturday will be another opportunity.
Here's where to watch the Dallas Cowboys vs Baltimore Ravens in the second game of the NFL preseason.

Khalen Saunders traded from Saints to Jaguars on same day he played Jaguars for Saints
Player for player trades are rare in the NFL these day. But the players having gone against one another on the same day? Even if it was a preseason Week 2 tie, that still has to be like seeing a bald eagle. The New Orleans Saints sent defensive tackle Khalen Saunders to the Jacksonville Jaguars for center Luke Fortner on Sunday, Aug. 17, after the two teams tied at 17. Saunders and Fortner still managed to end the day as enemies despite switching teams. Saunders won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs prior to starting 27 of 30 possible games over the last two seasons for the Saints. He started for the Saints on Sunday. Fortner entered for the Jaguars as a backup. Saunders had one of the most notable moments in prime time during the 2024 season. During the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Chiefs, Saunders picked off Patrick Mahomes while dropping into coverage in the end zone late in the third quarter. Saunders, listed at 325 pounds, rumbled 37 yards up the field before being brought down. Coincidentally enough, his brother, Kameron Saunders, was a backup dancer for Taylor Swift on the "Eras Tour." Khalen Saunders was a third-round pick by the Chiefs in 2019 and spent his first four seasons of his career with the team. During the offseason, the Saints bolstered the defensive line by trading for Davon Godchaux and signing Jonathan Bullard. Fortner is a fourth-year guard from the University of Kentucky who lost his starting spot last season and is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Caleb Williams' 2025 preseason debut was perfect – but don't go nuts, Bears fans
Savvy consumers of NFL football know better than to put too much stock into a preseason performance. Hopefully the same applies to anyone writing about the NFL for a living … though some of us have been known to get a bit too lathered up after, say, watching the Chicago Bears look like a potential juggernaut, steamrolling the Buffalo Bills, presumably a Super Bowl contender, 38-0 Sunday night in a nationally televised game. Pump. The. Brakes. But still... Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams made his game day debut Sunday, albeit in a contest that doesn't count, in rookie head coach Ben Johnson's offense. And Williams looked awesome. Finally. Yes, he was in for all of two drives. Yes, he was facing Buffalo defenders likely vying for middle-of-the-depth-chart jobs (at best) in 2025. No, he likely wasn't seeing exotic schemes designed to confuse and frustrate him. Sure, Chicago's second possession stalled after six plays and resulted in a punt. But did you see that first drive? Maybe before we obsess over the moment, we should review the last 16 months or so. It was just a year ago that optimism was soaring – raises hand – in Chicago, Williams, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 draft, seemingly landing in as favorable a situation as any top pick ever had considering the talent that would be surrounding him. But he didn't. Turns out the guy picked after Williams, Jayden Daniels, was the one who instantly turned a woebegone franchise around and maybe had the best rookie season ever while leading the Washington Commanders to the NFC title game − a performance that reset the bar for Williams. He was torpedoed by his own bad habits, a brutally tough division and an organizational infrastructure simply unable to cultivate him – no accomplished offensive coordinator, no wizened backup quarterback to lean on, apparently no one to advise him to just get rid of the damn ball and live to fight another play. Chicago went 5-12, head coach Matt Eberflus becoming the first in more than a century of Bears football to be fired before the completion of a season. But this year already feels different, even if the scrutiny is somehow heightened. Sure, there has been virtually a daily summer dose of social media clips, whether in proper context or not, of Williams struggling and venting his frustration during practice while trying to ingest his new playbook. He's publicly welcomed Johnson's hard coaching and meticulous schemes even as the coach has attempted to temper expectations around his new quarterback and team – one that reeled one of the hottest coaching candidates in years, aggressively retooled (especially along the line of scrimmage) during free agency and seemingly had a strong draft engineered by GM Ryan Poles. And then came Sunday. There was Williams, opening the game by repeatedly feathering balls to his tight ends, reliable Cole Kmet and first-round rookie Colston Loveland. Then he zipped a pass to veteran slot man Olamide Zaccheaus, the catch and run resulting in a 36-yard touchdown reminiscent of the dozens and dozens Johnson had orchestrated while successfully lording over the Detroit Lions attack amid a high degree of difficulty and productivity over the previous three seasons. But it wasn't just Williams' numbers – which included five completions on six throws for 97 yards during that initial march. He was accurate. He was decisive. He showed off his patented pocket mobility but didn't overextend himself – a wise decision in the heat of relatively meaningless August action. He even dirted a ball at the feet of his lineman when a play failed to develop rather than hoping to make something out of nothing − gambits that often worked during a college career that included a Heisman Trophy but not so much against professionals. 'I think getting started fast is important, it was one of our goals coming into this game," Williams said during Fox's broadcast. "Kinda set the tone for the team, the season.' It was indeed a snippet of what would portend a successful 2025 Bears season. Whether preseason or regular season, these are building blocks Chicago can build with on its new foundation. Williams will doubtless have to play hero ball at times in 2025, but it doesn't need to be in the first quarter of a game. He doesn't need to absorb unnecessary punishment – he was sacked a league-high 68 times as a rookie – while reverting to jailbreak football, which Johnson will doubtless wean him away from. The Bears have won nine NFL championships in their proud history but just one in the Super Bowl era, which began in 1966. Williams knows. 'You come to a place like this, with a lot of history, and you want to be able to make something of it," he said. But he's got time. Johnson has time. A young and promising team has time. It's time to shine almost certainly won't come in 2025. A successful Bears season will require patience from the hard-driving Johnson as his new charges progress with his offense. If he's not getting incessantly grilled on local talk radio the way predecessors like Eberflus and Matt Nagy did, then that's a win. If Johnson isn't driving himself mad while his players master his system – no trick plays revealed Sunday – even though the Lions took off almost immediately during his first season as their play caller, then that's a win. A successful Bears season will include new coordinator Dennis Allen getting the defense back near the top of the heap. A successful Bears season will likely see second-year wideout Rome Odunze blossom into a No. 1-caliber target. A successful Bears season might not result in anything better than a third-place finish in the NFC North, arguably the league's toughest division and one that could realistically produce three playoff entries. A really successful Bears season would include at least a split with the hated Green Bay Packers. 2025 NFL RECORD PROJECTIONS How we see the Bears' season going But for a team nearly 15 years removed from its last playoff win but just one from picking its latest would-be savior and just seven months from hiring a man who might finally be a worthy successor to Mike Ditka? Third place, perhaps eight wins, and maybe the first 4,000-yard passing effort in 106 seasons would represent realistic progress – and maybe the appropriate kindling to fan legitimate Super Bowl flames in 2026.

49ers Player Admits He Sought Outside Help After Struggling in 2024
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. One cannot overstate how important the mental aspect of sports is for athletes. At the pro level, everyone has a basic level of athletic talent, and it is one's mindset, attitude and philosophies that separate mediocre, good and great players from each other. One thing athletes need in order to be great is the ability to perform under pressure. Some are born with the ability, but others need help in order to develop that ability. San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody has been a mixed bag in his two seasons in the NFL. Statistically, he didn't do badly as a rookie, although he missed a key extra point attempt in that season's Super Bowl that could've helped the 49ers win it all. Last year, he struggled mightily at times and helped cost them wins as they sagged to a 6-11 finish. Niners Faithful was vehemently calling for him to be benched and replaced.

Photo byMoody admits that he had to seek outside help in order to get better at his job. "I've been talking with a sports performance coach," Moody said, per 49ers Webzone. "He's really harping on process over outcome. There's nothing I can do to go back and change the past. The only thing I can do is focus on the next kick and focus on the process. That's as simple as running out on the field, doing a practice kick, just focusing on my steps, making sure those are good, and just not thinking about anything that's previously happened, anything that might happen in the future. Just go back to the thousands of practice reps that I've done and focus on that process."

He made only half of his 20 attempts from at least 40 yards, and Niners fans had to deal with blood pressure spikes because of his inconsistent kicking. He missed a number of field-goal tries in fourth quarters, but in Saturday's preseason game versus the Las Vegas Raiders, he showed some improvement. While he missed a 53-yarder in the second quarter, overall, he went five of six, which included the game-winning 59-yard attempt he drilled with no time left. The whole @49ers team was going crazy for Jake Moody's game-winning FG 🎉 — NFL (@NFL) August 16, 2025 San Francisco held an open competition for the starting kicker job during training camp a few weeks ago. After two preseason games, it looks like perhaps the job is once again Moody's to lose, and coach Kyle Shanahan was happy with what he saw from Moody on Saturday. "I think that was a hell of a day for him," Shanahan told reporters in his postgame press conference. "I thought he kicked his ass off and gives us a lot of confidence."

While some are picking the Niners to miss the playoffs again this year, they're hoping to surprise people and perhaps even become contenders again. For that to happen, Moody will have to become cooler than the other side of the pillow under pressure. For more on the 49ers and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
