NFL Week 8 Sunday Schedule: Big divisional matchups across the board

The Green Bay Packers got a great head start on the rest of the NFL in Week 8, as they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 24-21 on Thursday Night Football. With that win, they improved to 7-1 and knocked the Cardinals down to the same record, staking their claim as the best team in the NFC.

However, the other two teams with a single loss are both in action on Sunday to try to keep pace with the Packers in the conference. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to New Orleans for a big divisional matchup with the Saints this Sunday afternoon; then later on, the Dallas Cowboys visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.

Outside of those contests, there are another four intra-division games on the schedule. These all will take place during the early time slot, with the Browns hosting the Steelers, the Dolphins visiting the Bills, the Titans and Colts squaring off in Indianapolis, and the Falcons and Panthers meeting for a second NFC South battle on the day.

Tune in throughout today’s action and join us here as we discuss all of the games during the Packers’ mini-bye.
