The New England Patriots travel south to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon in a Week 10 matchup that pits two of the AFC and NFC’s surprise contenders against each other. Tampa Bay (6-2) returns from a well-timed bye week, giving Baker Mayfield a chance to recover from lingering knee and oblique issues. The Buccaneers lead the NFC South and have allowed the fewest points in the conference through eight games. Mayfield, who’s thrown 13 touchdowns with just two interceptions, will test his efficiency against a Patriots defense that ranks among the top five against the run. New England (7-2) is riding a six-game winning streak under first-year coach Mike Vrabel. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye has been remarkably

The Jacksonville Jaguars visit the Houston Texans in an AFC South clash that carries major divisional weight. Jacksonville enters at 5-3 after an overtime win at Las Vegas, while Houston sits at 3-5 and turns to Davis Mills at quarterback in place of the injured C.J. Stroud. Stroud suffered a concussion in last week’s 18-15 loss to Denver and will sit for at least one week. Backup Mills, who hasn’t started since the 2022 season, takes over an offense ranked 24th in scoring at 21 points per game.

Traded from New Orleans at the deadline, the speedster reunites with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and joins one of the NFC’s most efficient passing attacks. His downfield presence should complement Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, who remains questionable with lower-body issues. Arizona counters with Jacoby Brissett, who continues to start in place of Kyler Murray (foot). Brissett has stabilized the offense, helping the Cardinals snap a five-game losing

The Detroit Lions visit the Washington Commanders in Week 10 of the NFL season, aiming to erase the sting of a 27-24 home loss to Minnesota. Dan Campbell’s squad sits at 5-3, while Washington continues to spiral at 3-6 after four straight defeats. Detroit stood quiet at the trade deadline, opting to lean on its current roster. The Lions remain potent offensively but need sharper protection for quarterback Jared Goff, who was sacked five times last week. Their defense, anchored by Aidan Hutchinson, remains opportunistic. The Commanders enter without quarterback Jayden Daniels, sidelined by an elbow injury. Marcus Mariota takes over under center for a team that has struggled to stop the pass and generate consistent scoring. Detroit opened as
