Preview Roundups
October 21, 2018
Tennessee at L.A. Chargers 9:30 AM ET
Philip Rivers is enjoying a stellar season for the Los Angeles Chargers, and the 36-year-old quarterback attempts to carry his success over to London when his squad faces the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Rivers has completed 68.6 percent of his passes for 1,702 yards and 15 touchdowns against three interceptions through six games.
Houston at Jacksonville 1:00 PM ET
Two teams looking to break out of the logjam atop the AFC South standings square off Sunday, when the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Houston Texans. The Jaguars are looking to bounce back from two consecutive losses, while the Texans are seeking a fourth straight win following an 0-3 start.
Cleveland at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that opened the season with back-to-back wins is far in the rearview mirror, and the team that heads into Week 7 is trying to pull out of a deep slump. The Buccaneers will be operating under new defensive coordinator Mark Duffner while trying to snap a three-game slide when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Carolina at Philadelphia 1:00 PM ET
The Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers envision themselves as contenders in the NFC this season, and Sunday's game between the teams at Lincoln Financial Field should provide a good litmus test to see where each stands. Carson Wentz tossed three touchdown passes in last week's 34-13 win over the New York Giants and had the same total in a 28-23 victory over the Panthers last season.
Minnesota at N.Y. Jets 1:00 PM ET
Kirk Cousins will face the team he spurned in free agency last spring when he leads the Minnesota Vikings into a matchup with the host New York Jets on Sunday. The Jets offered a three-year, $90 million contract to Cousins in March, only to watch him sign with the Vikings for less money.
New England at Chicago 1:00 PM ET
The New England Patriots appear to have found their mojo after a rocky start to the season and will take a three-game winning streak into Sunday afternoon's matchup at the Chicago Bears. The Patriots are coming off a thrilling victory over the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs but they have lost both road games by double-digit margins this season.
Buffalo at Indianapolis 1:00 PM ET
Despite their disappointing start to the season, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves only two games behind the other three teams in the AFC South in the standings. The Colts hope to gain ground on at least one of their division rivals when they host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Detroit at Miami 1:00 PM ET
Golden Tate took issue with Albert Wilson's claim that he's the league's best receiver in terms of gaining yards after the catch, saying that six games is not a big enough sample size. The two wide receivers aim to settle it on the field on Sunday as Tate and the Detroit Lions attempt to prevent the Miami Dolphins from jumping out to their first 4-0 start at home since 2000.
New Orleans at Baltimore 4:05 PM ET
The New Orleans Saints are on the short list of Super Bowl contenders a third of the way through the season and own the top scoring offense in the NFL at an average of 36 points. Drew Brees and company will test that offense against the league's top defense when the Saints visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Dallas at Washington 4:25 PM ET
The Dallas Cowboys attempt to break their cycle of alternating wins and losses this season and continue their recent dominance in the all-time series when they visit the NFC East-rival Washington Redskins on Sunday. Dallas is looking to post consecutive victories for the first time in 2018 after trouncing Jacksonville 40-7 last week.
L.A. Rams at San Francisco 4:25 PM ET
The undefeated Los Angeles Rams have run roughshod over the league in 2018 while the San Francisco 49ers have endured plenty of significant injuries starting as early as the preseason. The 49ers, however, have one positive to take into Sunday's matchup at Levi's Stadium: They have won four of the last five meetings between the NFC West rivals.
Cincinnati at Kansas City 8:20 PM ET
The Kansas City Chiefs will face a third consecutive AFC contender when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. The Chiefs put the best record in the conference on the line against the Bengals, who are tied atop the AFC North standings.
