Colts c. Buccaneers 13 h (RDS2)

After an impressive 41-15 victory over the Buffalo Bills, can the Indianapolis Colts continue against a quarterback that has given them many headaches in the past?

The Colts meet Tom Brady for the first time in the uniform of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quarterback is 15-4 in his career against the Colts, every game played while playing with the New England Patriots. Brady is having a great campaign with 29 touchdown passes and 3,177 yards to his record.

The confrontation that holds the attention in this duel is that between the running back Jonathan Taylor against the defensive front of the Buccaneers. Taylor roughed up the Bills last week with five touchdowns and 204 total yards. He became the first running back this season to record 1,000 rushing yards and he’s trying to extend his streak with at least 100 yards and a nine touchdown that would be an NFL record.

The Bucs’ defensive front is dominant against rushing, averaging 78.4 rushing yards per game this season.

Rams c. Packers 16 h (RDS2)

The Los Angeles Rams have a good opportunity to assess the progress they have made since last season and with their recent changes.

The two teams last met in the playoffs and the Packers had the best by 32-18. Since that time Matthew Stafford has joined the Rams squad. The quarterback was less effective in his team’s last two games which ended with losses 31-10 and 28-16 to the San Francisco 49ers and Tennessee Titans.

For his part, Odell Beckham Jr. can he stand out in Sean McVay’s offensive system?

The question for the Green Bay Packers remains Aaron Rodgers’ health. The quarterback made headlines this week after showing the media about his toe injury. The organization was also considering giving him a day off to treat a knee injury.

Browns c. Ravens 20 h (RDS)

The stakes are high for the North American Division game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.

The Ravens are number one with a 7-3 record, and while the Browns are last, they are still 6-5.

The last time the two teams met, Lamar Jackson put on a spectacle worthy of a movie. After leaving with an injury, the quarterback came back a game on a fourth down and threw a touchdown pass to Marquise Brown. Baltimore needed a 55-yard kick from Justin Tucker late in the game to register the victory.

Jackson was absent from the Ravens’ last game due to a virus that is unrelated to COVID-19. He should be at his post on Sunday evening. Baker Mayfield is also expected to be in his post for the Browns, although injuries have been piling up on his side since the start of the campaign.
