Take a deep breath, my friends. We are now halfway through the 2023 NFL Season and this is where the real fun begins. This week, Week #10, is the week in my mind that teams began to separate and establish themselves as bonafide and legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
For this second Sunday of November, our friends over at CBS Sports will once again have a singleheader (a regional game at 1:00 PM ET or 4:05 PM ET) while FOX Sports snags the doubleheader for the second straight week (games at 1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET).
This week, several teams and players will be spotlighted throughout the afternoon slate of games: CJ Stroud and the Texans (4-4) against the Bengals, Tee Higgins and the Bengals (5-3) against the Texans, Fred Warner (pictured above) and the 49ers (5-3) against the Jaguars, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys (5-3) against the Giants, Geno Smith and the Seahawks (5-3) against the Commanders, Cameron Jordan and the Saints (5-4) against the Vikings, and much more.
The second half of the season is upon us, and let's take a look at some highlights for this Sunday's action:
- Tamir's Week #10 Highlights:
* FOX Early (1:00 PM ET):
- 49ers @ Jaguars (Primary): Christian Kirk, Travis Etienne Jr. and the red-hot 🔥 Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2), winners of five straight and coming off their bye week, in for a very difficult late season test as Fred Warner and the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) (also coming off their bye week) visit Duval in a East vs. West showdown. Announcers are Joe Davis, Daryl Johnston & Pam Oliver.
- Saints @ Vikings: Cameron Jordan and the New Orleans Saints (5-4) find themselves in a critical point in their season as they now lead the NFC South division. Jordan, Demario Davis, Derek Carr, and the boys visit the Twin Cities to play against Alexander Mattison and the Minnesota Vikings (5-4). Somehow, Minnesota has recovered to salvage what was a disastrous beginning to their season, from starting 0-3 to now winning five of the last six games (only loss coming to Kansas City in Week 5). Announcers are Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth & Kristina Pink.
- Browns @ Ravens: Lamar Jackson and his Baltimore Ravens (7-2) look to take another key step forward in their ascension and rise through the AFC as Myles Garrett and the AFC North division rival Cleveland Browns (5-3) pay a visit to M&T Bank Stadium for a important contest with playoff implications on the line. Announcers are Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma & Shannon Spake.
* CBS Regional Coverage (1:00 PM ET/4:05 PM ET):
EARLY GAMES:
- Packers @ Steelers: Dionate Johnson and the Pittsburgh Steelers are somehow 5-3 right now. The Steelers continue their three-game homestead against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (3-5). As of now, Pittsburgh is in the #5 spot in the AFC playoff picture. This means that the Steelers have plenty to play for in this early 1:00 PM ET matchup from Acrisure Stadium. Ian Eagle will call the play-by-play, alongside analyst Charles Davis and reporter Evan Washburn.
- Texans @ Bengals: Rookie quarterback CJ Stroud is coming off of a sensational, breathtaking performance in his team's Week 9 game over the Buccaneers. And now, can Stroud and the Texans vanquish the streaking Cincinnati Bengals (5-3) and their dynamic pairing of QB Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase? This game should be a pretty decent matchup, as Kevin Harlan, Trent Green & Melanie Collins take the call from Cincinnati starting at 1:00 PM (ET).
- Titans @ Buccaneers: Two floundering and struggling teams to a certain extent butt heads down at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida as Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans (3-5) face Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5). Yeah, these teams BETTER get their act together as the playoff chances could decrease significantly for the loser of this game. The Titans at Buccaneers game will begin at 1:00 PM (ET). Play-by-play commentator Andrew Catalon will describe the action from Tampa, with analysts Matt Ryan and Tiki Barber. AJ Ross reports from the field.
LATE GAMES:
- Lions @ Chargers (Primary?): Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions (6-2) are well rested following a bye week. And now, they get back to it against Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack and formidable Los Angeles Chargers (4-4) defense, with the game kicking off from SoFi Stadium at 4:05 PM (ET). CBS's #1 crew of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (analyst) & Tracy Wolfson (reporter) will be in Inglewood to call this one.
- Falcons @ Cardinals: This 4:05 PM (ET) regional CBS game takes place from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona as rookie running back Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons (4-5) try to get back into the win column against the Arizona Cardinals (1-8). Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and reporter Amanda Renner will be the broadcast team.
* FOX Late (4:25 PM ET):
- Giants @ Cowboys (Primary): Dak Prescott and his Dallas Cowboys (5-3) look for a bounce back game following a heartbreaking loss to the Eagles in Week 9 as they face Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants (2-7) in the primary "America's Game of the Week" contest. Announcers are Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen, Erin Andrews & Tom Rinaldi.
- Commanders @ Seahawks: Viewers not scheduled for the Giants-Cowboys game will see DK Metcalf, Geno Smith, Julian Love and the Seattle Seahawks (5-3) aiming to put last week's crushing loss against the Ravens behind them as they host Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders (4-5), currently contending for a Wild Card spot. Announcers are Kevin Kugler, Mark Sanchez & Laura Okmin.
