Week 5 early game thread: It’s a light slate for the NFC
We had a game in London early this morning between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets. Sam Darnold finally made a mistake, but New York couldn’t get out of their way until it was too late.
A pair of playoff teams in the NFC have bye weeks this week. You won’t see the Philadelphia Eagles or Detroit Lions play this week.
The marquee matchups during the morning slate take place in the AFC. The Baltimore Ravens are coming down off the high of dismantling the Buffalo Bills on national television a week ago. Lamar Jackson and company are in Cincinnati to take on a Bengals offense that is beginning to figure it out but has not shown many signs of getting stops on defense this year.
