Early games open thread

We’re nearing the 1 p.m. ET game slate and for the fifth time in six weeks, there will be no Detroit Lions football on the slate. The Lions are on their bye week, which means no stress for this week of football. However, don’t get used to it. Detroit will be part of the 1 p.m. ET slot for the next nine of 11 Sundays.

But, for now, enjoy it. Get your Red Zone channel fired up, pull up your fantasy lineup, and just sit back, relax, and share your thoughts about the games in the comment section below.

Here’s the early slate of games to enjoy:

Buccaneers at Falcons — FOX
Steelers at Bengals — CBS
Chargers at Browns — CBS
Seahawks at Raiders — FOX
Bears at Dolphins — FOX
Cardinals at Vikings — FOX
Colts at Jets — CBS
