As the Seattle Seahawks enjoy their bye week, fans are gearing up for another exciting weekend of NFL action. This marks the second of three weekends dedicated to “NFL RedZone all day,” allowing football enthusiasts ample opportunity to catch other games while the Seahawks rest before their upcoming prime-time matchups.
This weekend’s schedule features six teams on bye, leaving ten games set to unfold between 10 a.m. PT and 1 p.m. PT. Notably absent from the lineup are the international games, which will return next week. Fans are particularly focused on the early game where the Houston Texans will battle the San Francisco 49ers at 10 a.m. PT on FOX. A Texans victory would boost the Seahawks’ standing, securing their spot at the top of the NFC West as they head into Week 9.
With the Los Angeles Rams also on a bye week, a 49ers loss would see Seattle positioned at 5-2, with an advantage over the Rams in divisional tiebreakers—important since they have yet to face each other. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals are again out of contention this week, firmly out of the spotlight.
Another game of interest during the early slate includes the struggling New York Giants, who, at 2-5, are aiming for a surprising sweep against the 5-2 Philadelphia Eagles. CBS will feature the Chicago Bears, currently holding a 4-2 record, against the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens, who will be missing their star quarterback Lamar Jackson once more as he continues to recover.
As the afternoon rolls in, the intriguing matchup between the 3-3-1 Dallas Cowboys and the 5-2 Denver Broncos will take center stage in the 1:25 p.m. PT window, joined by the battles between the 1-6 Tennessee Titans and the 6-1 Indianapolis Colts, as well as the 5-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing off against the struggling 1-6 New Orleans Saints.
