Sunday NFL Football: Week 11 early games thread

Six teams (Bills, Browns, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, 49ers) are on their bye week across Week 11 NFL action. Still, there’s seven early kickoffs slated for Sunday as we await the Eagles and Saints on FOX later. Here’s how they look.

• Dallas Cowboys (4-5) at Atlanta Falcons (4-5)
• Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) at Baltimore Ravens (4-5)
• Carolina Panthers (6-3) at Detroit Lions (3-6)
• Tennessee Titans (5-4) at Indianapolis Colts (4-5)
• Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6)
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-6) at New York Giants (2-7)
• Houston Texans (6-3) at Washington Redskins (6-3)

Obviously, there’s intrigue across the NFC South, as it would appear the Panthers can pick up an easy victory against the Lions on the road to keep pace with the Saints. Nobody knows what will happen in Atlanta except they’ll come to New Orleans to play the Saints on Thanksgiving night. The game to watch would be the Texans-Redskins. Houston has won six straight since starting 0-3.
