Preview Roundups
November 19, 2017
Jacksonville at Cleveland 1:00 PM ET
Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars look for their fourth straight win when they visit the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Bortles threw the ball a season-high 51 times last week in a wild comeback win over the San Diego Chargers to remain in a tie with the Tennessee Titans for first place in the AFC South.
Baltimore at Green Bay 1:00 PM ET
Aaron Rodgers is progressing nicely in his rehabilitation from a broken collarbone, but the Green Bay Packers might not be in the playoff race anymore by the time he gets back. The Packers will try to pick up a second consecutive win and stay within sight of the contenders in the NFC when they host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Arizona at Houston 1:00 PM ET
The poor state of quarterback play in the NFL will be on full display when the Houston Texans host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Texans’ high-flying offense was grounded when rookie sensation Deshaun Watson’s season ended with a torn ACL, while the Cardinals will start their third different quarterback.
L.A. Rams at Minnesota 1:00 PM ET
Two teams that have streaked to the top of their divisions collide on Sunday, when the Minnesota Vikings host the Los Angeles Rams. Minnesota owns a two-game lead in the NFC North on the strength of a winning stretch that reached five games with last week's 38-30 triumph over Washington.
Detroit at Chicago 1:00 PM ET
Sitting outside of the NFC playoff picture with seven games remaining, the Detroit Lions will go for their third consecutive victory when they visit the Chicago Bears in a matchup of longtime NFC Central rivals. The Lions have answered a three-game skid with back-to-back wins to stay within two games of the division-leading Minnesota Vikings.
Washington at New Orleans 1:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Saints continue to streak toward an NFC South crown as the offense catches up to the young defense. The Saints will try to push their winning streak to eight straight on Sunday when they host the slumping Washington Redskins.
Kansas City at N.Y. Giants 1:00 PM ET
After limping into their bye week, the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs hope to take advantage of a soft second-half schedule and pull away from the pack. That stretch begins with a trip to face the struggling New York Giants on Sunday.
Tampa Bay at Miami 1:00 PM ET
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins sure look weathered after an unexpected bye in Week 1 forced the teams to navigate their way through the season without any semblance of a break. With injuries accumulating at a rapid pace, the beleaguered Buccaneers and Dolphins look to get back on track at the other's expense Sunday in Miami.
Buffalo at L.A. Chargers 4:05 PM ET
Philip Rivers never has missed a start since becoming a first-string NFL quarterback, and he hopes to stretch the streak to 186 in a row when the Los Angeles Chargers host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Rivers self-reported a concussion on Monday but is rapidly improving, and the expectation is that he will be on the field against the Bills.
Cincinnati at Denver 4:25 PM ET
The Denver Broncos have been free-falling ever since their bye week and look to put on the brakes when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Denver started the season strong, winning three of its first four games, but finds itself in the AFC West basement thanks to a five-game slide that has followed its Week 5 bye.
New England at Oakland 4:25 PM ET
One year after battling the New England Patriots for the best record in the AFC, the Oakland Raiders are waging a different fight, trying to climb into position for a postseason berth. Once again the Raiders will be looking to overcome the Patriots when the teams square off Sunday afternoon at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 PM ET
The Dallas Cowboys will enter Sunday night's home tilt versus the surging Philadelphia Eagles without star running back Ezekiel Elliott, and perhaps decorated Pro Bowl offensive tackle Tyron Smith. After seeing his team's offense remain stuck in neutral without both studs last week, quarterback Dak Prescott may need to outduel fellow second-year quarterback Carson Wentz at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
