The "big" game on FOX this weekend takes place from Lumen Field in Seattle, as two division leaders hit the gridiron when Damar Hamlin and the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills (5-2) encounter Kenneth Walker III and the NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks (4-3). 🎙 The Bills-Seahawks game, which starts at 4:05 PM ET on FOX, will have FOX's lead commentary crew on the call: Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), seven time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady (analyst), Erin Andrews (reporter) & Tom Rinaldi (reporter).
FOX will open up Week #8 singleheader coverage with two live hours of pregame programming, beginning with "FOX NFL Kickoff" at 11:00 AM (ET). Host Charissa Thompson, analyst and four-time Pro Bowler Michael Vick, analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, analyst and Hall of Famer Charles Woodson and insider Peter Schrager dissect the upcoming day's slate of action and offer their thoughts and analysis. In addition to the main cast, contributors Colin Cowherd and Cooper Manning are expected to contribute segments to the program.
Later, FOX's Week #8 pregame coverage marches ahead with the legendary "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame show at 12:00 PM (ET). Of course, "FOX NFL Sunday" is led by co-hosts Curt Menefee and Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw. Joining Menefee and Bradshaw at the desk are Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, Hall of Famer Howie Long, and four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski (filling in for Jimmy Johnson). Rounding out the "FOX NFL Sunday" cast is longtime insider Jay Glazer, who furnishes pertinent information, news and notes from the NFL world.
FOX switches from the studio to the game sites for live game coverage at 1:00 PM (ET) for markets that are eligible to receive a early contest (check the bottom of this article or your local listings in your area). FOX possesses four games to air on a regional basis in the 1:00 PM (ET) window, including Packers at Jaguars, Falcons at Buccaneers, Cardinals at Dolphins & Titans at Lions. I will dispense more details about these four games in just a moment.
Romeo Doubs and the Green Bay Packers (5-2) hit the road this week to compete against Tank Bigsby and Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5) at Jacksonville's EverBank Stadium on Sunday, October 27 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. This is the eighth matchup all-time in the series between these franchises, the Packers having a 5-2 edge through seven games. This is the first Packers' visit to Jacksonville since 2016 (although the Packers played a game in Jacksonville in 2021 as a game vs. the Saints had to be moved there due to Hurricane Ida). Packers QB Jordan Love has posted 16 straight games with 200+ passing yards and at least one passing touchdown. Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. caught five passes for 89 yards, including a 58-yarder, and a touchdown vs. the Patriots in London last week, a game in which the Jaguars ultimately won 32-16, for the franchise's 200th win. 🎙 Sunday's Packers-Jaguars game will be broadcasted by FOX, with play-by-play man Kenny Albert, analyst and Super Bowl champion Jonathan Vilma, and reporter Megan Olivi on the call.
Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons (4-3) participate in a consequential NFC South showdown with Antoine Winfield Jr. and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-3) on Sunday, October 27 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Falcons are coming off a distressing 34-14 to the Seahawks last week. The Falcons are 2-0 in road games this season. Of course, this is the second matchup between these two teams in the month of October. In Week 5, the two clubs played a thrilling "Thursday Night Football" game when KhaDarel Hodge scored a game-winning 45-yard touchdown as the Falcons sank the Buccaneers 36-30 in overtime. Now, the Buccaneers look for revenge. The Buccaneers are coming off a costly 41-31 loss to the Ravens last week, losing wide receivers Chris Godwin (dislocated ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) in the process. Since QB Baker Mayfield came to Tampa in 2023, he is second in the league in terms of passing touchdowns (46), trailing only Green Bay's Jordan Love (47). 🎙 Sunday's Falcons-Buccaneers clash will be nationally televised by FOX, with Adam Amin calling play-by-play, three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen analyzing game action & veteran reporter Pam Oliver on the field.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tennessee Titans (1-5) continue their two-game sojourn across the country with a stop in Detroit to meet up with Amon-Ra St. Brown and the formidable Detroit Lions (5-1) on Sunday, October 27 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Titans will pay a visit at Detroit's Ford Field for the first time since 2016. Despite Tennessee's poor win-loss record, their defense is the #1 in the NFL through six games, allowing opposing teams an average of 272.2 yards per game. Titans QB Mason Rudolph got his first start as a Titan last week in the team's 34-10 drubbing against the Bills. Rudolph went 25-for-40 for 215 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Week 7 vs. the Bills. Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught eight passes for 112 yards and one touchdown vs. the Vikings in Week 7 (a close 31-29 Lions victory). According to many, Lions QB Jared Goff has a case for this season's MVP award. Jared can further cement his case this weekend vs. the Titans. 🎙 This week's Titans-Lions broadcast on FOX features Kevin Kugler (play-by-play), three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston (analyst) & Laura Okmin (reporter).
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals (3-4) travel cross country for an interconference showdown with Tyreek Hill and the Miami Dolphins (2-4) on Sunday, October 27 at 1:00 PM (ET) on FOX. The Cardinals are coming off a short week, in the aftermath of a tight 17-15 win over the Chargers on "Monday Night Football". Arizona has won two of their last three contests, trying to keep pace with the Seattle Seahawks (who enter Week #8 as the leaders in the NFC West) for first place in the division. Cardinals RB James Conner fueled Monday's comeback win over the Chargers with 101 rushing yards on 19 carries. Keep an eye out on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), as he might be close on returning to the Dolphins lineup. Dolphins RB De'Von Achane led the Dolphins in rushing in Week 7 (a 16-10 loss to the Colts) with 77 yards on 15 carries. 🎙 Jason Benetti handles play-by-play action for Sunday's Cardinals-Dolphins game on FOX, with analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth and reporter Jennifer Hale.
Later, for those of you that have to wait for 4:00 PM (ET) to get a FOX game, FOX continues singleheader coverage at 4:00 PM (ET) (with game kickoff at 4:05 PM ET). Two games are slated for the late afternoon singleheader window this week including Bills at Seahawks and Saints at Chargers. I will put forward additional information about these late afternoon FOX matchups in the ensuing paragraphs.
First-place clubs that are coming off victories collide as Amari Cooper and the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills (5-2) visit Leonard Williams and the NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks (4-3) on Sunday, October 27 at 4:05 PM (ET) on FOX. The Bills pulled away from the Titans 34-10 in Week 7. The Seahawks shocked the Falcons 34-14 in Week 7. The Seahawks are 2-2 (.500) in four home games at Lumen Field so far in 2024. 🎙 FOX's lead crew will be on the Bills-Seahawks call Sunday - Play-by-play commentator Kevin Burkhardt, analyst and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, reporter Erin Andrews & reporter Tom Rinaldi.
Demario Davis and the New Orleans Saints (2-5) will be involved in a third consecutive AFC West matchup when they face Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers (3-3) on Sunday, October 27 at 4:05 PM (ET) on FOX. This is the 14th all-time meeting between the Saints and Chargers, with the Chargers owing a slight 7-6 edge. The Saints have been ravaged by injuries over the course of the first seven games. The Saints are looking to stop the bleeding, as the team have lost five consecutive games entering Week #8. Saints WR Cedrick Wilson Jr. had 6 receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown vs. the Broncos in Week 7. Chargers K Cameron Dicker scored all 15 points (five-for-five, all via field goals) for the Chargers in their 17-15 loss to the Cardinals in Week 7. The Chargers defense is one of the top defenses in the league, allowing just 13.8 points per game (best in the NFL). 🎙 Chris Myers (play-by-play), Mark Sanchez (analyst) and Kristina Pink (reporter) have the Saints-Chargers call Sunday for FOX.
