It's time for us to jump into Week #6 of the 2024 NFL season. And this weekend (Sunday, October 13), FOX will have the doubleheader with the featured game being Lions at Cowboys (4:25 PM ET), featuring the network's top team of Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews & Tom Rinaldi. In total, FOX will have five games during Week #6 including: Cardinals at Packers, Browns at Eagles, Cardinals at Packers, Lions at Cowboys (previously mentioned) & Falcons at Panthers. Further details regarding this week's NFL on FOX doubleheader coverage can be found in the paragraphs that come behind this one.

As per usual, FOX will supply hungry football fans two live hours of pregame content before the Week 6 doubleheader slate kicks off. First up, at 11:00 AM (ET), FOX airs "FOX NFL Kickoff", the first of two NFL on FOX pregame shows. "FOX NFL Kickoff" is hosted by Charissa Thompson. Thompson's analysts for the show include Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, three-time Super Bowl winner Julian Edelman, four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick and analyst/insider Peter Schrager. To supplement the "FOX NFL Kickoff" cast, contributors Cooper Manning and Colin Cowherd add additional content.

Following "FOX NFL Kickoff", the iconic and transcendent pregame show "FOX NFL Sunday" hits the air on the national FOX airwaves at 12:00 PM (ET). "FOX NFL Sunday" is co-hosted by longtime FOX Sports host Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw. This week, Menefee and Bradshaw are joined by Hall of Famers Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long and Michael Strahan. To complete the "FOX NFL Sunday" cast, long-serving insider Jay Glazer shares news and information from across the National Football League.

FOX makes the transition from the studio to the gridiron for Game 1 of the Week 6 FOX doubleheader at 1:00 PM (ET). Three games will be regionally televised during this time, including Cardinals at Packers, Browns at Eagles and Buccaneers at Saints. Additional information will be dispensed regarding these three games.

Eric Stokes, Josh Jacobs, Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers (3-2) welcome Kyler Murray, James Conner, Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Arizona Cardinals (2-3) to Lambeau Field in Green Bay on Sunday, October 13 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. This is the 74th time that these teams will see each other during regular season play. Cardinals QB Kyler Murray went 19-for-30 for 195 yards and hurled one touchdown through the air as the Cardinals UPSET the 49ers last week in Santa Clara, 24-23. Cardinals LB Kyzir White had a critical interception of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy last week. Packers S Xavier McKinney is off to a strong straight, having grabbed an interception in each of the five games that McKinney has participated in (including one last week vs. the Rams, a 24-19 win for the Packers). The Packers are an exceptional 8-1 versus NFC West opponents since the 2019 season. 🎙 Kevin Kugler joins three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl "Moose" Johnston and reporter Laura Okmin for the broadcast of Cardinals-Packers.

David Njoku and the distasteful Cleveland Browns (1-4) find themselves away from home for third straight week as they go against Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles (2-2), fresh off a bye week, on Sunday, October 13 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. These teams are meeting for the first time since the COVID-19 impacted 2020 season, when the Browns bested the Eagles 22-17. Browns DE Myles Garrett leads the Browns with four sacks this season (that means Garrett has basically recorded one sack per game for the most part). Browns CB Denzel Ward leads the league with nine passes defended thus far in the 2024 campaign. Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is leading the Eagles with 435 rushing yards (6.0 avg) and 5 TD's (four rushing, one receiving). A historic Week #6 for Eagles DE Brandon Graham (who is currently playing his 15th and final season in the NFL), as he will become the first Eagles player in franchise history to play in 200 games. 🎙 Sunday's Browns-Eagles game is nationally televised on FOX, with Kenny Albert on play-by-play, Super Bowl champion linebacker Jonathan Vilma on color commentary & Megan Olivi as the sideline reporter.

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2), currently tied for first place in the NFC South, enter hostile territory for a high-stakes Week 6 NFC South showdown vs. Tyrann Mathieu and the New Orleans Saints (2-3) on Sunday, October 13 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Buccaneers look to move on following a crushing OT loss to the Falcons in Week 5, 36-30. Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield went 19-for-24 for 180 yards while rifling three touchdown passes through the air in the Week 5 loss to the Falcons. Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean recorded nine tackles in Week 5 vs. the Falcons. The Saints, unfortunately, have a short week following a Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Saints LB Demario Davis had five tackles in the Saints' Week 5 26-13 loss to the Chiefs. Saints DT Khalen Saunders had a CRAZY interception during the Chiefs game, that made the Internet go bananas! 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Adam Amin (fresh off his assignment of calling the Phillies-Mets NLDS) narrates the action from New Orleans, with analyst and three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen and reporter Pam Oliver.

The doubleheader continues on FOX at 4:25 PM (ET), with America's Game of the Week. Two games are set for a 4:25 PM (ET) kickoff on FOX this week - Lions at Cowboys and Falcons at Panthers. I strongly recommend you keep reading to acquire additional insight and perspective regarding these two late contests.

A pair of three-win clubs match up at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas as Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit Lions (3-1) take on Dak Prescott, Jalen Tolbert, DeMarvion Overshown and the Dallas Cowboys (3-2) on Sunday, October 13 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. The Lions enjoyed a bye week last week, while the Cowboys barely squeezed past the Steelers last week 20-17 thanks to a fourth down TD pass from QB Dak Prescott to WR Jalen Tolbert. Lions QB Jared Goff has completed 71% of his passes with over 1,000 passing yards through Week 4. Stud Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has 27 receptions for 252 yards, along with two touchdowns through four weeks of game action. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott passed for 352 yards and had two touchdown passes during the Cowboys' Week 5 over the Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle had 20 attempts on the ground for 87 yards last week vs. the Steelers. 🎙 Sunday's Lions-Cowboys game will be seen on FOX, with the network's top NFL crew of Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) & Tom Rinaldi (reporter) calling it.

Jessie Bates III and the confident Atlanta Falcons (3-2) are scheduled to take on a NFC South division opponent in Week 6, as they face Chuba Hubbard and the woeful Carolina Panthers (1-4) on Sunday, October 13 at 4:25 PM (ET) on FOX. Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, of course, had a sterling and outstanding performance last week vs. the Buccaneers on "Thursday Night Football". Cousins went 42-for-58 for 509 yards and passed for four touchdowns as the Falcons toppled the Buccaneers 36-30 in overtime. Falcons WR Drake London had 12 receptions for 154 yards and a touchdown vs. the Buccaneers in Week 5. Panthers RB Miles Sanders and his team are coming off a brutal 36-10 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field last week. 🎙 Chris Myers calls play-by-play with analyst and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez. Kristina Pink works the sidelines.

Once the doubleheader is all set and done, FOX will summarize the day's events on "The OT" postgame show, starting at 7:30 PM (ET). Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson & Jay Glazer will serve as the studio team for the postgame.
