Bye week Sunday watch guide for Lions fans

Bye week Sunday watch guide for Lions fans, with four straight games on Sunday to fill the void of Detroit being idle

No Detroit Lions football this Sunday? No problem. The Week 5 NFL schedule has plenty of other games for Lions fans to check out, with four straight games of interest.

Sunday’s slate features all three of Detroit’s divisional foes in action, with none playing at the same time. It starts at 9 a.m. with the Minnesota Vikings playing the New York Jets in London.

At 1 p.m., the Chicago Bears host the Carolina Panthers. After that game, the coverage switches to Los Angeles, where the Rams are hosting the Green Bay Packers.

Then on Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. Detroit plays Dallas when the Lions return from the bye in Week 6.

Browns fan bye week watch guide: 5 games to watch in Week 5

A watch guide for the five biggest NFL games in week 5. Watch the Steelers and Ravens, Bengals and Cardinals, Rams and Eagles, Cowboys and 49ers, and Vikings vs. Chiefs.

An Autumn Sunday without the Cleveland Browns feels so empty. Neither college football nor fall chores can fill the void this weekend. The only thing that can even begin to scratch the itch more professional football. This bye week, I examined the Week 5 schedule to identify the five best games to watch on Sunday when missing the Browns. Unfortunately, Sunday’s slate doesn’t seem to boast many exciting matchups. There is, however, a divisional matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

When compiling the list of five games, I excluded the Buffalo Bills Jacksonville Jaguars game played in London. My primary focus was on games outside prime periods, aiming to spotlight teams the Browns will encounter later in the season—an introduction for our fans. Consequently, the list features our familiar foes in the AFC North and our future opponents in the NFC West. Rest assured, I’m not solely recommending low-scoring smash-mouth games.

While that’s my preferred style of football to watch, I understand the importance for us fans to witness good quarterbacks in action for once. I made it a point to highlight what Vegas deems the highest-scoring game this weekend. Without further ado, here’s a watch guide to the NFL’s five biggest games on Sunday.
