NFL preseason action kicks off Thursday with an AFC standoff as the Baltimore Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens finished atop the AFC North last season before being stunted in the divisional round of the playoffs 27-25 by the Buffalo Bills.

The Baltimore Ravens will face the Indianapolis Colts in their first preseason game of the summer, where there will be plenty to watch. For Baltimore, quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry are among the key starters who'll sit out and rest after participating in the spirited joint practice.

It’s the preseason and that means things are a little different for watching the action live. Eight of the 16 games in week one will be broadcast live nationally on the NFL’s broadcast channel. So NFL Network and NFL+ has live coverage of Baltimore vs. Indianapolis, and then the Raiders at the Seahawks.
