Team Spotlights
Eagles vs. Vikings
The Eagles' offense has been a mess, ranking near the bottom in almost every category. Jalen Hurts admits they're still searching for their identity, and Saquon Barkley hasn't been the same dominant force he was last season. The Vikings' defense, however, has a weakness in the rushing game, which could be an opportunity for the Eagles to turn things around.
Commanders vs. Cowboys
Both teams need a win badly. Washington must take better care of the ball and capitalize on Dallas' struggling defense.
Jaguars vs. Rams
The Jaguars face a tough defensive front, and their offense needs to step up after a disappointing loss to the Seahawks.
Patriots vs. Titans
The Patriots are on a roll, and Vrabel's return to Tennessee adds a personal touch to the game.
Colts vs. Chargers
The Colts have been impressive, with Jonathan Taylor leading the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns. The Chargers, on the other hand, need to bounce back after a loss to the Dolphins.
Lions vs. Buccaneers
Both teams are playing great football, and this rematch could be a preview of the NFC Championship. Baker Mayfield has been outstanding, leading game-winning drives despite injuries. The Lions, meanwhile, have a powerful rushing attack that the Buccaneers will need to contain.
