International Clash: New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers – 9:30 a.m. ET (Munich, Germany)
Kicking off the Sunday slate is an international showdown between the struggling New York Giants (2-7) and Carolina Panthers (2-7) who are also in a desperate need for a win. This matchup not only brings two underperforming teams together but also represents a chance for them to redeem themselves on a global stage.
Denver Broncos (5-4) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (8-0) – 1 p.m. ET
The Kansas City Chiefs continue to defy expectations as they remain unbeaten at 8-0! Coming off a nail-biting 30-24 overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they aim to extend that streak against a competitive Denver Broncos team. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, despite stretching the limits of his stats with nine interceptions this season, showcases his resolve and Fourth Quarter prowess. The Broncos, led by rookie Bo Nix, will research their underdog mentality as they face the only remaining undefeated squad. Can they pull off the ultimate upset?
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Washington Commanders – 1 p.m. ET
In what’s become a somewhat surprising season, the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) find themselves leading the AFC North. Their matchup against the Washington Commanders (7-2) promises to be a battle of resilience. The Steelers' quarterback situation took unexpected turns with Russell Wilson’s return to form. Meanwhile, the Commanders have experienced a remarkable turnaround this season, largely thanks to their dynamic rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who’s drawing comparisons to last year’s breakout star C.J. Stroud. Will the Commanders continue their hot streak?
Detroit Lions vs. Houston Texans – 8:20 p.m. ET (Sunday Night Football)
The marquee matchup of the week features the explosive Detroit Lions (7-1) visiting the Houston Texans (6-3). Jared Goff is on a historical path to make NFL history by completing 80% or more of his passes in five straight games! His performance will be pivotal against the thriving Texans, who have been holding their ground in a competitive AFC South. Will the Lions make a statement, or will the Texans surprise with their second-year quarterback CJ Stroud stepping into the spotlight?
Struggles in Texas: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys – 4:25 p.m. ET
Desperation hangs in the air as the Dallas Cowboys (3-5) prepare to square off against the division-leading Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) in Arlington. With Dak Prescott sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Cooper Rush will take the reins. Fans are hopeful given his recent record as a starter—can he guide them through this tough matchup? Meanwhile, the Eagles are riding a four-game winning streak and targeting the playoffs. This game has significant implications, especially considering the Cowboys' dismal home record of 0-3 this season.
