NFL fans will be able to catch up on some sleep as Week 8 of the 2025 season heats up.
There is no international action this week as the league will turn its attention to games in Madrid and Berlin next month. There’s also no “Monday Night Football” doubleheader, allowing East Coast fans to get to bed at a reasonable hour.
The Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers will be tested first in a short week to start the week. As the days go from Saturday to Sunday, there will be plenty of games to lock in to.
The New York Jets are still looking for their first win of the season, the New England Patriots hope to remain the darlings of the league with a win over the Cleveland Browns, the Buffalo Bills return from a bye week for a road game against the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys clash in a crucial midseason matchup.

Aaron Rodgers has also made it clear that his game against the Green Bay Packers is not a “revenge” game. It will be the first time he will face his former team since the two parted ways. The Steelers enter the game with a 4-2 record.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders close out the week. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are back in their winning ways, but could struggle against veteran Marcus Mariota, who is expected to start for an injured Jayden Daniels. Mariota led the Tennessee Titans to a victory over the Chiefs in the 2017-18 playoffs. It was the last time the Chiefs failed to reach the AFC Championship.
