Read on for additional coverage of all four early afternoon FOX matchups this Sunday.

Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions (4-1) are scheduled to visit Justin Jefferson and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings (5-0) in a consequential NFC North confrontation on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Vikings currently lead the NFC North while Detroit sits just one game back. The Lions thrashed the Cowboys last week, 47-9. The Vikings were able to knock off the Jets 23-17 in London back in Week 5, prior to team's Week 6 bye. 🎙 Adam Amin will call play-by-play for Sunday's Lions-Vikings broadcast on FOX, joined by three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen (analyst) and veteran NFL on FOX reporter Pam Oliver.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is set to make his return to MetLife Stadium as a visting player as the Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) participate in their first NFC East contest of the 2024 season against Isaiah Simmons, Darius Slayton and the New York Giants (2-4) on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Eagles returned from the bye week on a winning note, as they squeezed past the Browns, 20-13, in Week 6. The Giants suffered a Week 6 loss in primetime, losing 17-7 to the Bengals on "Sunday Night Football". Saquon, of course, spent six seasons with the Giants before leaving the team in free agency to join the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season. During Saquon's Giants career (2018-23), he had 1,201 carries for 5,211 yards while scoring 47 touchdowns (35 rushing, 12 receiving). The Eagles received a major boost last week when wide receiver AJ Brown (hamstring) and wide receiver DeVonta Smith (concussion protocol) return to the Eagles' lineup, each scoring a touchdown during the Browns game in Week 6. Giants rookie RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (from Purdue) accounted for 107 yards and the lone Giants touchdown against the Bengals in Week 6. 🎙 FOX will televise Sunday's Eagles-Giants game, with Chris Myers (play-by-play), former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez (analyst) and Kristina Pink (reporter) announcing.

DK Metcalf and the Seattle Seahawks (3-3), a team that has lost three straight contests following a shocking 3-0 start, take a trip out East to match up with Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons (4-2), coming in with a unexpected 4-2 start, on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Seahawks are sliding hard after a hot 3-0 start to the season. The Seahawks are coming off a loss to the 49ers in Week 6, 36-24, on "Thursday Night Football". Meanwhile, the Falcons are streaking in a positive direction, as Jessie Bates III and the Falcons have now won THREE straight games, including a 38-20 win over the Panthers last week. 🎙 Play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert, who recently celebrated 500 (!!) NFL broadcasts as a FOX play-by-play commentator, handles play-by-play duties for FOX's Seahawks-Falcons broadcast on Sunday alongside analyst and Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma. Megan Olivi reports from the sidelines.

Emmanuel Ogbah and the Miami Dolphins (2-3) resume their 2024 season schedule following a Week 6 bye when they encounter Zaire Franklin and the Indianapolis Colts (3-3) on Sunday, October 20 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Dolphins make their first visit to Lucas Oil Stadium since 2019 and will face the Colts for the first time since 2021. The Dolphins were able to get the better of the Patriots, 15-10, in Week 5 (Miami's last game prior to this weekend). This win stopped a ugly three-game losing streak that the Dolphins were on able to the team's Week 6 "off week". The Colts have won three of their last four games, including a tight 20-17 victory at the Titans in Week 6. Dolphins rookie RB Jaylen Wright and the Dolphins used their running game to get past the Patriots in Week 5, as Wright rushed for a career-high 86 yards on 13 carries. Colts WR Josh Downs grabbed seven balls for 66 yards plus adding one tuddy to the board against the Titans in Week 6. 🎙 Sunday's Dolphins-Colts broadcast will be televised by FOX, with Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston (analyst) and Laura Okmin (reporter) on the call.

The Chiefs continue their journey towards a ninth consecutive AFC West title and to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl championships. The Chiefs had a Week 6 "bye week" following a 26-13 win over the Saints in Week 5 on "Monday Night Football". The 49ers had an important Week 6 victory over the Seahawks on "Thursday Night Football", as the defending NFC champions have stumbled to a 3-3 start after six games. 49ers WR Deebo Samuel Sr. had 3 catches for 102 yards including a 76-yard touchdown vs. the Seahawks in Week 6. 🎙 Sunday's Chiefs-49ers game will be nationally broadcasted on FOX, featuring the network's top football team of Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), reporter Erin Andrews and reporter Tom Rinaldi.
