A pair of NFC playoff teams have bye weeks
We had a game in London early this morning between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets. Sam Darnold finally made a mistake, but New York couldn’t get out of their way until it was too late.
A pair of playoff teams in the NFC have bye weeks this week. You won’t see the Philadelphia Eagles or Detroit Lions play this week.
The marquee matchups during the morning slate take place in the AFC. The Baltimore Ravens are coming down off the high of dismantling the Buffalo Bills on national television a week ago. Lamar Jackson and company are in Cincinnati to take on a Bengals offense that is beginning to figure it out but has not shown many signs of getting stops on defense this year.
The hopeless Jacksonville Jaguars should get their first win at home against The fighting Joe Flacco’s and the Indianapolis Colts, who will be without running back Johnathan Taylor.
Mike McDaniel could use a good showing. His offenses have been trending in the wrong direction since December of last year. The Miami Dolphins are on the road against the New England Patriots.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, who beat the Jaguars last week but were trailing for most of the game, take on C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. The Texans beat the Jaguars last week, but they were trailing all game.
In the NFC, we have the Washington Commanders at home taking on the Cleveland Browns and the Carolina Panthers against the Chicago Bears as Andy Dalton has his sights set on revenge.
