Los Angeles Chargers vs Minnesota Vikings: An AFC versus NFC matchup that is definitely set to be a good one. Both the Chargers and Vikings made the playoffs last season but are still looking for their first victories of the new year. Both teams have lost this season in one possession games. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has fans questioning if he’s the right fit for the team as his offense has struggled to close out games. He was able to find his star wide receiver Keenan Allen last week in Tennessee with 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings also have a star receiver in Justin Jefferson who had 150 yards in week one and 159 in week two. It’s safe to say that Allen and Jefferson is not the cause for their teams’ struggles. The Vikings are the favorites to win this game for it not only being in Minnesota, but also for the fact that Chargers star running back Austin Ekeler is still questionable to play this weekend. One of these teams will get their first win of the year and the other will have members of the team on the hot seat. Los Angeles will take on Minnesota at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Buffalo Bills vs Washington Commanders: Another AFC versus NFC matchup as the Buffalo Bills travel down to Washington to take on the Commanders. The Bills are one of the powerhouse teams in the NFL and got off to a slow start in week one against the Jets with a loss and their quarterback Josh Allen throwing three interceptions. They got back on track last week as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 38-10. Allen threw for 274 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Washington has surprised the NFL world as they started the year 2-0 with wins over the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos. Quarterback Sam Howell has not lost yet as a starter and will definitely have his work cut out for him against some of the best teams the NFL has to offer. Will the Commanders continue to put the W in Washington or will the Bills expose them for frauds and bring back the Commanders lack of success in recent years? We will see this Sunday at 1 p.m.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The reigning NFC champion Eagles look to continue their undefeated season as they travel down to Tampa Bay to take on the also undefeated Buccaneers. The NFL world is not surprised to see the Eagles start 2-0, but with the Bucs that’s a different story. The loss of Tom Brady has really affected the Buccaneers team–or so we thought. These two teams both are coming in with wins against the Minnesota Vikings, interestingly enough. Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles look just as dominant as last year. New addition D’Andre Swift is thriving in Philly coming off a big 175-yard rushing game. The excellent Eagles O-line led by Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson helped the ground game get going last game as well as giving Hurts the time to throw the ball to receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The Buccaneers look to continue to run on that underdog mentality behind Baker Mayfield at the helm. Both teams looks to keep their undefeated seasons alive. Who will win this week on Monday Night Football at 8:15 p.m?
