Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars — 1:00 PM — CBS
The Jacksonville Jaguars sit at 4-2 and host the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Stadium, where a 2-5 Indianapolis team badly needs a win to steady its NFL season. Trevor Lawrence has been sharp for Jacksonville with 1,480 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions, and Parker Washington leads the receivers with 416 yards and four scores. Daniel Jones has thrown for 1,398 yards for the Colts, but seven interceptions against four touchdowns tell the story of a passing game that keeps stalling. That leaves Jonathan Taylor as Indianapolis’s best weapon at 587 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, so expect a heavy dose of him on Sunday. Jacksonville lists Jakobi Meyers as questionable with a hamstring injury while the Colts list tight end Tyler Warren as questionable with a groin injury.
Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions — 1:00 PM — FOX
The unbeaten Minnesota Vikings carry a 6-0 record into Ford Field on Sunday, and the 4-2 Detroit Lions get their shot at handing Minnesota its first loss. Kyler Murray has thrown for 812 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, while Justin Jefferson leads the Vikings with 302 receiving yards and three scores and Aaron Jones Sr. (436 rushing yards) is questionable with a left knee injury. Detroit’s offense has been the louder unit, with Jared Goff at 1,788 passing yards and 14 touchdowns and Jahmyr Gibbs piling up 620 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. Amon-Ra St. Brown (46 catches, 525 yards, five touchdowns) gives Goff his favorite target, but the Lions secondary plays without safety Kerby Joseph, who is out with a knee injury. Keep an eye on Dallas Turner and his six sacks, because pressure on Goff looks like Minnesota’s best path to 7-0.
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers — 1:00 PM — CBS
Two 5-2 teams meet at Acrisure Stadium as the Cleveland Browns visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC North rivalry game that carries real weight for both sides. Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 1,699 yards with 13 touchdowns and five interceptions for Pittsburgh, and Jaylen Warren’s 561 rushing yards give the Steelers a reliable ground game to lean on. Cleveland counters with Deshaun Watson, who has 1,482 passing yards and seven touchdowns, plus Denzel Boston, who leads the Browns with 372 receiving yards and three scores. The matchup to watch is T.J. Watt and his 5.5 sacks against a Cleveland offensive line that lists tackle Tytus Howard as questionable with a concussion.
Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets — 1:00 PM — FOX
The Las Vegas Raiders bring a 3-4 record into MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and a win over the 2-5 New York Jets would pull them back to .500. Kirk Cousins drives the Las Vegas offense with 1,877 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and just five interceptions, and Tre Tucker has turned 29 catches into 474 yards and four scores. Geno Smith answers for New York with 1,623 yards, 10 touchdowns and only two picks, while Braelon Allen leads the ground game with 418 yards on 91 carries. The Jets’ best hope of rattling Cousins is linebacker David Bailey and his team-high 5.5 sacks, but he’s listed questionable with a groin injury. If Bailey plays, this NFL game gets a lot more interesting than the records suggest.
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — 1:00 PM — FOX
The Atlanta Falcons bring a 3-4 record into Raymond James Stadium to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who sit at 2-5 and badly need an NFL win in front of their home crowd. Michael Penix Jr. has been sharp for Atlanta with 1,157 passing yards, nine touchdowns and just one interception, and Drake London has turned 38 catches into 616 yards. The ground game should decide this one, with Bijan Robinson piling up 704 yards and four scores on 131 carries while Bucky Irving answers with 558 yards and four touchdowns of his own for Tampa Bay. Baker Mayfield has thrown for 679 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, and the Bucs list wide receiver Emeka Egbuka as questionable with a concussion. Atlanta’s secondary has its own worries, with cornerbacks A.J. Terrell Jr. and C.J. Henderson both questionable with groin injuries, so Mayfield could find room to throw if either one sits.
Tennessee Titans at Cincinnati Bengals — 1:00 PM — CBS
The Tennessee Titans bring a 1-6 record to Paycor Stadium to face the Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) in a matchup that tilts heavily toward the home side. Joe Burrow has been sharp, completing 157 of 219 passes for 1,653 yards with 15 touchdowns against three interceptions, and Tee Higgins has turned 33 catches into 571 yards. Cam Ward has thrown for 1,179 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions, so Tennessee’s best path runs through Tony Pollard and his 478 rushing yards and four scores on 112 carries. The Titans’ leading receiver, Carnell Tate (34 catches, 413 yards), is questionable with a shoulder injury, while Cincinnati will play without safety Kyle Dugger, who is out with a left quadriceps injury. Unless Pollard can keep Burrow on the sideline for long stretches, this one looks like Cincinnati’s game to lose.
Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills — 1:00 PM — CBS
The Buffalo Bills (5-1) host the Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Highmark Stadium in an AFC clash that says a lot about where both teams stand as November opens. Lamar Jackson is questionable with a left ankle sprain, and that’s the story of the week for a Ravens offense built on his 967 passing yards and Derrick Henry’s 579 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. Josh Allen has the Bills humming with 1,504 passing yards and nine touchdowns, while James Cook III adds 627 yards and six scores on the ground. Buffalo tight end Dalton Kincaid is questionable with a chest injury and Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith, the team leader with 55 tackles, is questionable with a knee injury. If Jackson plays, this is the kind of quarterback duel worth building a Sunday around.
Arizona Cardinals at Dallas Cowboys — 1:00 PM — FOX
The Arizona Cardinals (2-5) visit AT&T Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) on Sunday afternoon, with both NFL clubs trying to dig out of a losing start. Dak Prescott has thrown for 1,851 yards with 13 touchdowns against five interceptions, and CeeDee Lamb leads Dallas with 651 receiving yards and six scores. Javonte Williams is the bigger worry for the Arizona defense after piling up 472 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. Jacoby Brissett has 1,600 passing yards for the Cardinals, and tight end Trey McBride leads the team in receiving with 59 catches for 472 yards. Arizona running back Jeremiyah Love is questionable with an ankle injury, while Dallas sack leader Quinnen Williams is questionable with a hamstring injury.
Los Angeles Chargers at Los Angeles Rams — 4:05 PM — FOX
The Los Angeles Chargers are still hunting for their first win at 0-6, and a crosstown trip to SoFi Stadium to face the 3-4 Los Angeles Rams is a tough place to find it. Matthew Stafford has thrown for 1,989 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Kyren Williams (492 rushing yards, five scores) and Puka Nacua (45 catches for 485 yards) give the Rams the kind of balance the Chargers haven’t found. Justin Herbert has 1,141 passing yards but eight interceptions against five touchdowns, so protecting the ball against Byron Young and his 4.5 sacks comes first. The Chargers’ injury list doesn’t help, with safety Derwin James Jr. doubtful (hamstring) and leading receiver Tre’ Harris questionable (hamstring). This NFL battle for Los Angeles bragging rights looks lopsided on paper, but an 0-6 team with Herbert under center and Khalil Mack (three sacks) chasing Stafford has nothing to lose.
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins — 4:25 PM — CBS
The New England Patriots (4-3) head to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon to face the Miami Dolphins (1-5), and on paper this NFL clash tilts New England’s way. Drake Maye has thrown for 1,784 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while tight end Hunter Henry leads the Patriots with 296 receiving yards and linebacker Elijah Ponder has piled up 5.5 sacks. Miami’s best weapon has been running back Ollie Gordon II, who has 339 yards and four touchdowns on 72 carries. Quarterback Malik Willis sits at 1,057 passing yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions, and his top receiver Malik Washington (289 yards) is questionable with a knee injury. If Gordon can grind out drives and keep Maye on the sideline, the Dolphins have a real path to their second win of the season.
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos — 4:25 PM — CBS
The 5-2 Denver Broncos host the 5-1 Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday afternoon, and a home win pulls Denver even with Kansas City in the loss column. Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 1,474 yards with 9 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, but Kenneth Walker III and his 701 rushing yards and 6 scores on 120 carries are the bigger problem for this Broncos defense. Travis Kelce leads the Chiefs with 343 receiving yards and is questionable with an ankle injury. Bo Nix answers with 1,271 passing yards, 7 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, while Zach Allen anchors the Denver pass rush with 4.5 sacks. The catch is that Allen (hamstring) and top receiver Jaylen Waddle (chest) are both questionable, so the Broncos’ injury report could decide this NFL game as much as anything on the field.
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders — 8:20 PM — NBC, Peacock
Two longtime rivals with a combined three wins meet at Northwest Stadium as the Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) visit the Washington Commanders (1-4) in an NFL game that feels like a last stand for both. Jalen Hurts has thrown for 933 yards with 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, though Philadelphia lists Saquon Barkley (244 rushing yards) and DeVonta Smith (310 receiving yards) as questionable with hamstring injuries. With Terry McLaurin on Injured Reserve after left knee surgery, Jayden Daniels has 759 passing yards and 5 touchdowns and gets help from Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who has 239 rushing yards and 2 scores. Watch the edges too, where Odafe Oweh leads Washington with 3 sacks and Nolan Smith Jr. matches that total for Philadelphia while listed as questionable with a concussion.
