Chargers vs. Patriots 2017 live stream: Start time, TV schedule, and how to watch online

Are the Patriots back? Or are the Falcons just free-falling? That’s a pair of questions we’ll have better answers for Sunday afternoon when New England hosts a surging Chargers team in Week 8. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday and will be broadcast live on CBS (live stream).

The Pats regained their Super Bowl swagger by crushing Atlanta in a fog-laden Sunday Night Football showdown, but their revival will be put to the test when a line-demolishing Charger pass rush turns up the heat on Tom Brady. Joey Bosa will get his first opportunity to sack the surefire Hall of Famer, and an improving-but-unsteady offensive line will have its hands full ensuring Brady has he time he needs to lead one of the league’s best attacks.
