The 2012 NFL preseason TV schedule includes a good number of nationally televised games, but many of them are on NFL Network. Local fans may have to search out coverage for their favorite teams, but at least the national audience will get to see a few games each week during the preseason.
It’s interesting to note that the Arizona Cardinals have three games getting national coverage this preseason. The Indianapolis Colts also have three games during the first three weeks of the preseason, giving the nation a really good look at Andrew Luck on the field for the first time.
