This NFL Sunday is one where the best game on the schedule — at least the best on paper — comes in the early afternoon time slot. That game, at least in this writer’s estimation, features the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of a Divisional Playoff game from this past January.
Both of these teams come into week 3 with 2-0 records. Philly narrowly beat the Dallas Cowboys on the NFL’s opening night then won 20-17 in a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs in week 2. Meanwhile,
the Rams have two wins over AFC South teams, a 14-9 victory over the Texans on the first Sunday of the year before a 33-19 drubbing of the Titans last week.
That game kicks off at 1 PM Eastern from Philadelphia, and it is up against eight other contests in the same time slot. Unfortunately, the late games and Sunday Night Football matchup are generally less exciting, with Chiefs-Giants getting prime time treatment and Cowboys-Bears featuring the biggest audience in the afternoon window.
The Green Bay Packers get their game out of the way early in the day, with their contest against the Browns set to kick off in Cleveland at 1 PM Eastern. Join us here to talk about all of the other games going on throughout the day today and enjoy!
