With nine divisional clashes, two potential playoff previews and a possible Super Bowl preview, the NFL ramps up in a pivotal week. Drake Maye opened the slate by steering the Patriots past the Jets for an eighth straight win, while Sunday begins with Commanders vs Dolphins in Madrid. Marquee tilts include Bills vs Buccaneers rebound bids, a Bears vs Vikings rematch, Seahawks vs Rams for NFC West control, and Chiefs vs Broncos with division stakes. The weekend crescendos with Lions at Eagles before Cowboys visit the Raiders on Monday.
