This week, the NFL hits Week 10, marking the halfway point of the regular season. The action kicks off with a lighter schedule than usual, as four teams are on bye this week. Adding to that, an international game is set to take place in Munich, Germany, limiting the number of games to just 10 in the afternoon time slots.
In the early games, the Kansas City Chiefs bring their perfect 8-0 record into Arrowhead Stadium, where they face off against the division rival Denver Broncos, who come in at 5-4. This matchup highlights the competitive nature of the AFC West. Another key game in the 1 p.m. ET slot will see the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) travel to Washington D.C. to take on the Washington Commanders (7-2). Fans should also keep an eye on a battle of rookie quarterbacks as Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears host Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.
As the afternoon approaches, the excitement ramps up with one of the best rivalries in the NFL: the Dallas Cowboys welcoming the Philadelphia Eagles for a crucial NFC East showdown. This game is particularly notable as it will be Dallas’s first game without quarterback Dak Prescott, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
With 11 games scheduled this afternoon, Major TV markets will showcase various matchups, including crucial games involving teams fighting for playoff positioning. The complete Week 10 schedule will be preceded by “Thursday Night Football,” featuring the Baltimore Ravens against the Cincinnati Bengals. Additionally, there will be a morning game in Germany between the Pantheon Panthers and the New York Giants, leading into “Sunday Night Football,” where the Detroit Lions take on the Houston Texans. To close out the week, the Los Angeles Rams will host the Miami Dolphins in Monday Night Football.
