NFL Week 8: Early afternoon games open thread

SB Nation

The Washington Commanders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football, so we’ve got a few games to watch early Sunday afternoon. Fox has four games and most of the country will be watching the Philadelphia

Eagles trying to beat the unstoppable Dartaboo combo, and get revenge for getting embarrassed by the New York Giants two weeks ago. We also have two AFC vs NFC games, and an AFC game between the Patriots and Lions.

FOX

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles

San Francisco 49ers @ Houston Texans

Cleveland Browns @ New England Patriots

Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers

CBS has three more games on their early schedule. Most of the country will be watching the Chicago Bears visiting the Baltimore Ravens. A lot of people expected this to be QB Lamar Jackson’s return after he was listed as a full participant on Friday, but the Ravens changed it to limited and are now facing scrutiny for being deceptive on their injury report. Snoop Huntley gets the start for Baltimore after Cooper Rush was benched. Kirk Cousins is expected to start for the Falcons with Michael Penix Jr dealing with a bone bruise. This will be Cousins first start of the season, and the Falcons are hosting the lowly Dolphins. The Jets and the Bengals are the final game on the early slate.
