The NFL will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month during week 3 of the 2015 season.

CBS and NFL Network’s “Thursday Night Football,” NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” and ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” will shine a national spotlight on the Hispanic community and showcase the positive role Hispanic NFL players and coaches have on and off the field.

The NFL’s celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month dates back to 2002 when then-Commissioner Paul Tagliabue made serving the Hispanic community a league priority. Working with league and club executives and leaders in the Hispanic-American community, the NFL continues to honor the important role Hispanic players and fans play in the game and the community.
