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.
