Both Houston and Green Bay were division champions in 2019, and both feature dynamic quarterbacks in Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers. The networks could bill it as another “next generation versus old guard” type of matchup. Even if Watson and Rodgers were both comparable in age, it would make a great game just because the quarterback play would be equally high level for the first time in the series.

Optimal viewing: Week 9, Sunday Night Football, NRG Stadium. Somehow, this matchup in Houston always gets kicked to Sunday night. In 2004, it was on ESPN Sunday Night Football, and NBC got it in 2012. Why not keep with tradition and play it on Sunday night in Houston for the third time?
