For the Cowboys and Packers, that future is a shot at a Lombardi Trophy. The two will face off in Dallas, both entering the game with identical 3-1 records, and emerging as contenders for the NFC crown. For the Bengals and Cardinals, the future is about next year, or perhaps rather a few more years down the road as the Bengals with their 0-4 record host the Cardinals with an only slightly better 0-3-1 record.
There’s still plenty left in the middle to watch for. The Saints will face a red-hot Buccaneers team in New Orleans with Jameis Winston and company fresh off a 55-40 beatdown of the Rams last Sunday. The Ravens will try to end their losing skid at two facing the Steelers, who just claimed their first win of the season against the aforementioned Bengals.

And of course, Tom Brady and the Patriots will be looking to extend their undefeated streak into the season. Facing the 0-4 Redskins, the question is likely by how much they will win on the road rather than will the winning streak be extended.
These games are all leading up to a pair of intriguing primetime matchups, with the Colts and Jacoby Brissett, who has stepped up and performed well for the Colts as the new starter under center, facing the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football.” Then on “Monday Night Football,” a pair of surprising division leaders will hope to maintain their place on the top with the 2-2, AFC North-leading Browns facing the 3-0, NFC West-leading 49ers in San Francisco.

How to watch, live stream NFL games
Don’t wait until the afternoon to watch this week’s NFL action. There are only two games that start in the 4 o’clock hour, with one a piece split between CBS and Fox. The “Thursday Night Football” matchup between the Rams and Seahawks came down to the wire with a missed field goal late.
The next chance to see a primetime game will be on Sunday when the Colts travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” on NBC. That game can also be streamed on fuboTV. The Browns will have a chance to move to 2-0 on “Monday Night Football” games when they travel to San Francisco to face the undefeated 49ers.
Games can also be streamed with NFL Sunday Ticket. That will offer live streaming for any NFL game not subject to local blackout restrictions. Replays of all games can be streamed on NFL Game Pass.
