The Washington Football Team hosted the Kansas City Chiefs earlier today. The last place Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football and the New York Giants lost to the Rams during the early games. That leaves the Dallas Cowboys who are visiting the New England Patriots. Dallas is 4-1 and currently sits atop the NFC East. They go to Foxboro as a road favorite.

The other game on CBS this afternoon features a big game between two AFC West teams. The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos are both 3-2 and looking to keep pace with the first place Chargers(4-1). This will be the first game for new Raiders Head Coach Rich Bisaccia who replaced Jon Gruden this week.

The only afternoon game on Fox should be a good game between the Cardinals and the Browns. Arizona is the only undefeated team left in the NFL, and are looking to go 6-0 today. They just added Zach Ertz from the Eagles, and continue to give Kyler Murray more weapons. Cleveland is 3-2, tied with the Bengals and one game behind the Ravens.
