Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for taking some time out of your day to read this week's NFL on FOX article. Believe it or not, it is Week #9 already! Damn! And FOX Sports has a doubleheader of game action coming your way this Sunday, November 3. Six games are scheduled to be on FOX this week, including Cowboys at Falcons (1:00 PM ET), Commanders at Giants (1:00 PM ET), Raiders at Bengals (1:00 PM ET), Patriots at Titans (1:00 PM ET), Lions at Packers (4:25 PM ET) & Rams at Seahawks (4:25 PM ET). We have plenty of information to cover, so let's get started!
The two "key" games to watch on FOX this week are Cowboys at Falcons and Lions at Packers. At 1:00 PM (ET), most of the country will observe CeeDee Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) make a visit to the Peach State for a Week #9 meeting with Darnell Mooney and the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons (5-3), as Adam Amin, three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen & Pam Oliver provide commentary. Later on at 4:25 PM (ET), America's Game of the Week provides us with a riveting NFC North showdown as Jahmyr Gibbs and the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions (6-1) take a trip to Lambeau Field to play Jaire Alexander and the Green Bay Packers (6-2), as FOX's lead crew of Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) & Tom Rinaldi (reporter) provides commentary.
FOX starts Week #9 doubleheader coverage with the "FOX NFL Kickoff" pre-pregame show at 11:00 AM (ET). Host Charissa Thompson leads the coverage for the program, joined on-set by a exceptional group of analysts, three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick & Hall of Famer Charles Woodson. In addition, insider Peter Schrager will also appear on the show to provide up-to-the-minute information about the latest NFL news. Cooper Manning and Colin Cowherd are also scheduled to contribute segments throughout the hour-long pregame program.
Following "FOX NFL Kickoff", the first-rate "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame show hits the air at 12:00 PM (ET). As per usual, Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw share hosting duties. To supplement Menefee & Bradshaw, three Hall of Famers sit on the panel to dispense their thoughts and opinions about the games set to kick off in a few minutes - Super Bowl champion Michael Strahan, Super Bowl champion Howie Long and two-time Super Bowl champion Jimmy Johnson. Longtime FOX Sports personality Jay Glazer holds down the insider position, talking about the news and information that is pertinent to a particular football Sunday.
FOX kicks off the Week #9 national doubleheader at 1:00 PM (ET) with the early afternoon action from stadiums across the country. In this window, FOX has four games on the menu - Cowboys at Falcons, Commanders at Giants, Raiders at Bengals and Patriots at Titans. An expedited synopsis of every early FOX game is coming up for your viewing pleasure in mere moments from now.
Dak Prescott and the floundering Dallas Cowboys (3-4) strive to get back on track this week with a contest against Bijan Robinson and the astounding NFC South leading Atlanta Falcons (5-3) on Sunday, November 3 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Cowboys have dropped two straight games, a 47-9 loss to the Lions in Week 6 and a 30-24 loss to the 49ers in Week 8. Now, the Cowboys try to get back to .500 as the midseason point approaches. Cowboys CB Amani Oruwariye had a season-high eight tackles last week vs. the 49ers. The Cowboys have been playing without three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Micah Parsons and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence for some time now. Meanwhile, A.J. Terrell and the Falcons have SHOCKED the NFL world by being in first place in the NFC South following eight weeks. The Falcons beat the Buccaneers, 31-26, last week for their second victory over the Buccaneers in less than a month, giving them the season sweep. 🎙 Sunday's Cowboys-Falcons game will be nationally televised on FOX, as Adam Amin (play-by-play), three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen (analyst) & Pam Oliver (reporter) will be tasked with broadcasting duties.
Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders (6-2) visit Daniel Jones and the New York Giants (2-6) on Sunday, November 3 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Commanders defeated the Bears 18-15 in Week 8 thanks to four field goals from Austin Seibert, and Jayden Daniels' WILD and CRAZY Hail Mary to Noah Brown as time expired. Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers and the Giants are coming off a 26-18 loss to the Steelers in Week 8. 🎙 This week's Commanders-Giants broadcast team on FOX features Chris Myers (play-by-play), former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez (analyst) & Kristina Pink (reporter).
Two mediocre teams look to build some positive momentum at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati this Sunday, as Alexander Mattison and the Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) make the long flight out East to compete against Cam Taylor-Britt and the Cincinnati Bengals (3-5) on Sunday, November 3 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. To me, this feels like a survival game for both of these clubs. At the midway point, YOU do not wanna be 2-7 (Raiders' case) or 3-6 (Bengals' case). The loser of this matchup can pretty much kiss their season goodbye, barring a miracle. Las Vegas has lost four straight games, including last week's loss to the Chiefs. Raiders WR DJ Turner caught his first-ever touchdown pass in Week 8 vs. the Chiefs. Bengals RB Chase Brown had a rushing touchdown last week in a dispiriting 37-17 loss to the Eagles. Potentially, the Bengals could on the be the fringe of the AFC playoff picture with a win this week and some results breaking their way. 🎙 FOX serves as the television home for Raiders-Bengals, with Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl "Moose" Johnston (analyst) and Laura Okmin (reporter) describing the gameplay.
Two bottom of the barrel teams meet in Nashville this Sunday as Christian Gonzalez and the New England Patriots (2-6) duel Calvin Ridley and the Tennessee Titans (1-6) on Sunday, November 3 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. You have two teams basically out of the postseason picture and just playing out the strings at this point. The Patriots have had a lousy season, with a six-game losing streak just getting snapped last week with a close 25-22 win over the Jets. The Patriots have won six of the last seven meetings with the Titans. Titans S Quandre Diggs tries for his 4th in a row with 5+ tackles. 🎙 Sunday's Patriots-Titans game will be seen on FOX, with Jason Benetti serving as the play-by-play commentator, three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth serving as the game analyst & longtime FOX Sports reporter Jennifer Hale manning the sidelines.
The Week #9 NFL on FOX doubleheader continues at 4:25 PM (ET) with America's Game of the Week. FOX plans to regionalize two games at 4:25 PM (ET) this Sunday, Lions at Packers and Rams at Seahawks. We will briefly discuss these two games on FOX in just a moment.
Jared Goff and the explosive Detroit Lions (6-1) visit to Romeo Doubs and the Green Bay Packers (6-2) for this NFC North clash on Sunday, November 3 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. The Lions are currently leading the NFL at 33.4 points per game after hanging 52 points on the Titans in Week 8. Packers QB Jordan Love sustained a groin injury in a 30-27 win over the Jaguars last week, so we'll see what Jordan's status will be for Sunday's game. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt joins analyst and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in the broadcast booth for Sunday's Lions-Packers broadcast, with Erin Andrews & Tom Rinaldi reporting from the sidelines.
Puka Nacua and the Los Angeles Rams (3-4) find themselves in Seattle to participate in an all-important NFC West battle with Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks (4-4) on Sunday, November 3 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. In recent weeks, the NFC West division is starting to tighten up, with all four teams in the division separated by just a half game entering Week #9. This game is paramount for Rams head coach Sean McVay and his team, as they look to upset the Seahawks and climb back to .500. In a 30-20 win over the Vikings last week, the Rams added two important pieces back in wide receiver Cooper Kupp & wide receiver Puka Nacua. The Seahawks are currently navigating through turbulent times following a hot 3-0 start (an abysmal 1-4 record ever since). Seahawks QB Geno Smith leads the NFL in pass yards (2,197) & completions (212). The Seahawks enter a very pivotal portion of their schedule, with four division games in a five-game stretch (including this one). 🎙 Kenny Albert (the last original member of the NFL on FOX announcing team) calls play-by-play with analyst and Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma and reporter Megan Olivi.
Following America's Game of the Week, FOX heads back to the Los Angeles studios for "The OT", starting at 7:30 PM (ET). Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan, Howie Long and Jay Glazer preside over the half-hour postgame show talking about Sunday's game action that just occurred, with interviews, analysis and other features planned.
