The trade deadline is right around the corner, and teams have until Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET to sell or add to their team. There have already been moves made, and rumors are swirling about multiple players across the league.
This will be a big week for teams to watch players they're interested in to determine if they want to make a move. There are some obvious big games this week, but there are also some underrated games you should be tuning into. Here is a look at three games that should be on your radar: Sunday, Nov. 8 at 9:30 a.m.
ET on NFL Network Who doesn't love to wake up and immediately watch football? The international game this week is in Spain, which already adds an exciting extra element to the matchup. These two teams, specifically their quarterbacks, are coming off wildly different games.
Last week, Falcons QB Michael Penix had a career-high four interceptions in their 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers. Bengals QB Joe Burrow threw five touchdown passes and ran in the overtime game-winner in their 43-36 battle against the Titans. The matchup I'm interested in is the Falcons' defense against the Bengals' passing game, specifically wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.
Higgins is second in yards per game (103.7), while Chase is 16th in the league (70.3), making them a duo very difficult for secondaries to stop. The Bengals lead the NFL in passing yards per game (288.4), and the Falcons defense is in the middle of the pack in passing yards allowed (223.4). The Bengals come in at 5-2, while the Falcons are 3-5 but have shown real flashes of strong play.
Coming off two vastly different games, plus international travel, this game could surprise people. ET on CBS, streaming on Paramount+ This one isn't a divisional, or even conference, matchup, so it will go under the radar more than some of the direct intraconference showdowns, but I think it will be one of the best games of the week. The Broncos are riding high after a huge divisional win over the Chiefs, in a game that came down to the final play.
