- Start time: 9:30 a.m. ET
- Channel: NFL Network
- Live stream options: YouTube TV, NFL+
Guten Tag! The NFL heads to Frankfurt, Germany, for the first of 12 NFL games today. The Miami Dolphins prepare for their biggest test of the season after completing their season sweep of the New England Patriots. Meanwhile, the Chiefs hope to return to the win column after an embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos.
The Dolphins’ offense got back on track last week after a rough outing in Week 7 against the Eagles. Can they continue this momentum against a top-notch Steve Spagnuolo defense? Miami WR Tyreek Hill hopes to have a big game in his first matchup against his former franchise.
Minnesota Vikings at Atlanta Falcons
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Kirk Cousins era seems to be over after the QB tore his Achilles in the fourth quarter against the Green Bay Packers last week. The veteran underwent successful surgery on Wednesday but will be out for the season, and his future in Minnesota after this season is unknown. Rookie QB Jaren Hall takes his place under center today.

Meanwhile, the Falcons lost a rough one to the Will Levis-led Titans. Head coach Arthur Smith benched QB Desmond Ridder after yet another subpar performance. He remains on the bench this week as Atlanta elects to go with Taylor Heinicke under center. Will the former Commanders QB be able to bring the Falcon’s offense to life?
Arizona Cardinals at Cleveland Browns
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Cardinals were unsurprisingly active at the trade deadline, but their move was a surprise. Arizona sent QB Joshua Dobbs and a seventh-round pick to Minnesota for a sixth-round pick. With the QB1 headed north, rookie QB Clayton Tune gets the nod against the Browns this week.
Cleveland lost a close one against the Seahawks and has been playing well despite Deshaun Watson being out. He returns after a four-game absence and should be an upgrade to the offense. If the unit doesn’t look considerably better with him back, that contract will look worse by the day.
Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Rams got walloped in Dallas 43-20 as WR Cooper Kupp was shut down for the second straight week. QB Matthew Stafford left the Week 8 contest in the third quarter with a sprained thumb. While the veteran is day-to-day and could start, don’t be surprised to see backup Brett Rypien out there if Stafford can’t go.
The Packers also lost. However, their loss was just another in the span of four straight as the offense continues to struggle. This season was supposed to be about growth for QB Jordan Love and the passing game, but it’s been too slow. With Love facing off against a strong defense, will he be able to get the offense on the same page sooner rather than later?
Washington Commanders at New England Patriots
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Commanders got another great game from Sam Howell but fell short yet again to the Eagles. The defensive front will look very different this week, with the franchise trading Montez Sweat and Chase Young before the deadline.
After their surprise win against the Bills in Week 7, the Patriots found themselves back in the loss column with a 31-17 defeat at the hands of the Dolphins. The offense is still struggling to maintain momentum. While not the greatest offense, the Commanders can hold their own. Will the Patriots’ offensive woes continue?
Chicago Bears at New Orleans Saints
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Saints offense is coming to life. They’ve scored 24+ points in back-to-back weeks, with Derek Carr completing 19 of 27 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns. Can they continue to grow on this success against the Bears this week?

Tyson Bagent’s Week 7 performance disappeared against the Chargers on Sunday Night Football. While Justin Fields returned to practice this week, he remains out for Sunday’s contest. With Bagent facing off against the toughest defensive test of his career, it could be a long day for Bears fans.
Seattle Seahawks at Baltimore Ravens
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Seahawks won a hard-fought battle against Cleveland last week. The Seahawks continue to show they are one of the best teams in the NFC West and have taken the lead in the division.
The Ravens have won three in a row after the embarrassing loss in Pittsburgh. Lamar Jackson and the offense are playing as hot as ever and proving to be one of the best teams in the AFC. Can they continue their hot streak over a young but talented Seahawks defense?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Houston Texans
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
After their hot start to the 2023 season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost three straight and fallen under the Saints and Falcons in the NFC South. While the defense is doing its part, Baker Mayfield and the offense have struggled to score.
After the decisive win over the Saints, the Texans dropped a sloppy game to the Panthers last week. C.J. Stroud still gives the Texans a chance to win, but the team needs to clean up play. Can they get back into the win column against a stumbling Buccaneers squad?
Indianapolis Colts at Carolina Panthers
- Start time: 4:05 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The first game in the late slate sees the Colts heading to Carolina to take on the Panthers. The Colts have lost three straight but get a break against Carolina. The Saints and Browns are two of the better defenses in the league, while QB Gardner Minshew should be able to open things up against a young Panthers defense.
Meanwhile, rookie QB Bryce Young and the Panthers ground out a tough win over the Texans. However, the offense is still very inconsistent, and even with Minshew being a backup, he has more experience to turn up the heat on the Panthers’ offense.
New York Giants at Las Vegas Raiders
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Raiders had a spooky Halloween. Late Tuesday night, owner Mark Davis pulled the plug, firing HC Josh McDaniels and general manager David Ziegler. Former NFL LB Antonio Pierce takes over as interim head coach and faces off against the franchise he won a Super Bowl with, the New York Giants. Rookie QB Aidan O’Connell is set to start this week.

The Giants finally get QB Daniel Jones back under center, but New York averages 11.9 points per game. Both of these offenses are in the bottom ten in the league, but the Giants have the advantage of some good defense as of late. Will that give them the edge against the Raiders today?
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The only divisional game of the day features an NFC East battle between the Cowboys and Eagles. Dallas ironed out the kinks last week, destroying the Rams 43-20. Dak Prescott threw four touchdowns, and the Cowboys finally looked like the contender they were billed to be.
They face a tough challenge as the Eagles continue to deflect every volley sent their way. With two big wins over the Dolphins and Commanders under their belt in back-to-back weeks, can Philadelphia grab another over the Cowboys today?
Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals
- Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Channel: NBC
- Live stream options: Peacock
The final game of the day features a long-awaited rematch between the Bills and Bengals. These two met last season, but the game was cut short due to a head injury to Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin. It’s a new season, though, and both teams are fighting to stay at the top of their divisions.
The Bills desperately need a win to keep pace with the Dolphins, but will the offense, which has struggled recently, crack through the Bengals’ defense? Meanwhile, the Bengals hope to continue their three-game win streak as they’ve revived their playoff hopes.
