THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL — The lights of MetLife Stadium will shine bright as the Philadelphia Eagles roll into East Rutherford to face the New York Giants on Thursday, Oct. 9 at 8:15 p.m. ET. It’s the first NFC East showdown of the season for Big Blue — and a test of pride on home turf.
Philly leads the all-time series 96–89–2 and has dominated lately, taking seven of the last eight matchups, including playoffs. The Eagles’ last win came Jan. 5, 20–13. The Giants’ last victory over Philly came just a year earlier, Jan. 7, 2024, a 27–10 home statement that ended a long drought. Thursday marks their 183rd regular-season meeting, with a rematch in Week 8 down in Philly.
SUNDAY MORNING IN LONDON — It’ll be breakfast football for fans back home as the New York Jets head overseas to face the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 12. The Jets’ faithful in New York and across New England will be up early — hoping the team can finally get in the win column.
Denver leads the all-time series 23-18-1 and enters at 3-2 after edging the Eagles 21-17. The Jets, meanwhile, are 0-5 and reeling after another ugly offensive showing. They’ve dropped four straight to Denver, including last year’s 10-9 loss.
New York’s defense has been one of the few bright spots, ranking top ten against the pass. But the Jets’ offense — full of penalties, turnovers, and protection issues — ranks near the bottom of the league. Expect the Broncos to pound the ball early against a Jets front that’s giving up over 140 rushing yards a game.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON — Down south in the Superdome, the New England Patriots travel to New Orleans for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff against the Saints. The game airs on CBS and gives Pats Nation a chance to see if their team can build momentum after upsetting Buffalo in Week 5.
The Patriots lead the all-time series 10-6, though the Saints blanked them 34-0 in their last meeting back in 2023. The last time these teams met in New Orleans was in 2017, when New England walked out with a 36-20 win. This time, both sides are hungry — the Saints (1-4) just notched their first win, while the Patriots (3-2) are fighting to stay in the AFC East race.
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL — Week 6 wraps with the Buffalo Bills heading to Atlanta to take on the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is 7:15 p.m. ET — a national spotlight game for one of New England’s biggest AFC rivals.
Atlanta holds a 7-6 edge in the series, but the Bills took the last matchup 29-15 in 2022. Buffalo enters the week trying to rebound from its loss to New England, while the Falcons aim to prove they can hold their own against a powerhouse offense.
From MetLife to London to the Superdome — and all eyes on Buffalo — Week 6 has New York and New England fans locked in from dawn to Monday night.
