[Week 5 Sunday schedule | Live blog]
The Week 5 afternoon slate has a couple of big matchups between teams looking to separate from the pack. With six games in the early afternoon portion of the day and four in the late window, it should be an action-filled day of NFL football.

Some of the games on the Sunday afternoon slate this week include Las Vegas visiting Indianapolis, Dallas in New York against the Jets, the New York Giants on the road in New Orleans, Miami at Carolina, Houston at Baltimore and the biggest game in the early afternoon window features Denver in Philadelphia looking to knock off the undefeated Eagles.
There haven’t been many offensive fireworks in the Broncos-Eagles matchup so far, with eight total punts in the first half and Philadelphia leading 10-3. The lone score of the first half was a two-yard dart to Dallas Goedert, as he and Jalen Hurts connected for their fourth touchdown in the past three games. On the other side of the ball, Bo Nix has struggled to get things rolling, completing just 47.6% of passes in the first half, averaging 3.8 yards per attempt and an NFL passer rating of 57.4 — all marks that would be season lows for Nix, had the game ended at the half.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Dallas Cowboys visit the New York Jets for an early afternoon tilt on FOX. Dallas is coming off a thrilling 40-40 tied game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 4, and seeking their second win of the season to keep pace in the NFC East. The Jets have dropped the first four games of 2025 and simply need a win. Despite facing the worst defense in total yards per game (420.5) and the second-worst in scoring defense, allowing 33 points per game, the Jets have been unable to find much rhythm so far in this game slate.

However, the headliner on this Sunday afternoon kicks off at 3:05 p.m. ET between two 3-1 franchises jockeying for position in the NFC, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seattle Seahawks. Tampa Bay and Seattle represent two of the five teams sitting at 3-1, looking up at the Eagles, trying to keep pace in the conference.
Rounding out the afternoon in the late window for Week 5 will be Tennessee at Arizona, Detroit in Cincinnati, taking on the Bengals, and Washington visiting the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s Week 5, and the NFL is down to its final two undefeated teams in the Eagles and Buffalo Bills.
Week 5 also represents the first week of byes with four teams not in action. The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers are all off for Week 5.
