NFL Games Today: Sunday TV Schedule, Channels, Live Streams and More
Week 7’s Sunday slate features just 11 matchups. There is no need for the early alarm this week as all the teams are back in the United States this week. With almost an even split between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. ET games, the day is capped off with a thrilling matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
With five divisional matchups set to kick off today, the drama will surely be at an all-time high. The Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, and Houston Texans all get some rest with a bye in Week 7. Here’s how to watch every game on Sunday.
Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) at Chicago Bears (1-5)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The first of the 1 p.m. ET NFL games today sees the Las Vegas Raiders heading to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. The Raiders returned to .500 last week, defeating the Patriots 21-17. However, the win came at a price, as QB Jimmy Garroppolo went down with a back injury. The Raiders will be forced to turn to veteran Brian Hoyer or rookie Aidan O’Connell with Garroppolo out this week.
On the other hand, the Bears entered the Week 7 matchup, suffering multiple losses a week ago. Not only did Chicago lose an NFC North tilt against the Minnesota Vikings, but QB Justin Fields also exited the game after dislocating his right thumb. The Bears will turn to rookie QB Tyson Bagent from Shepherd University as he becomes the fourth Division II QB to start an NFL game in the past 20 years.
Cleveland Browns (3-2) at Indianapolis Colts (3-3)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
Cleveland finally handed 49ers QB Brock Purdy the first regular season loss of his career as the Browns defense shut down San Francisco’s offense. Meanwhile, the Colts were outmatched by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first week of rookie QB Anthony Richardson’s IR stint.

The Browns got some good news this week as QB Deshaun Watson returned to practice, but the QB still has a questionable injury designation. Cleveland shouldn’t have too much to worry about, though, as the best defense in the league should give Gardner Minshew and the Colts offense fits all day.
Buffalo Bills (4-2) at New England Patriots (1-5)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The first of five divisional matchups this week, this battle could end up being a bit lopsided, given the Patriots’ struggles. New England has lost three straight and is off to the worst start of Bill Belichick’s career. The offense is sputtering under QB Mac Jones, as the unit has failed to score more than 20 points this season.
Things won’t get any easier with a stout Bills squad coming to town. While they struggled to beat the Giants on Sunday Night Football, the defense did not let New York’s offense reach the end zone. If Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense can iron out the wrinkles, the Patriots will be staring at a fourth straight loss.
Washington Commanders (3-3) at New York Giants (1-5)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
After a rough three-game skid, QB Sam Howell and the Commanders got back in the win column with an impressive victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Washington’s offense kept things clean while the defense forced three turnovers.

Despite a loss to the Bills on Sunday night, the Giants performed admirably, giving the Bills a scare despite being severely depleted. QB Daniel Jones may return after hurting his neck in Week 5 after being a limited participant in practice all week. However, he has not been cleared for contact. Should the QB not be able to go, Tyrod Taylor will make his second start. Even with the questions under center, the offensive line is a mess, making protection a mystery.
Atlanta Falcons (3-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
All four teams in the NFC South lost last week, leaving the race for the top spot unchanged. However, with the Saints losing Thursday Night Football, Atlanta and Tampa Bay can take sole possession of first place in the division with a win.
Keeping QB Baker Mayfield clean could be the key to Tampa Bay holding the lead in the NFC South. Buccaneers QBs have been sacked just five times this season, the fewest in the NFL. The Falcons have sacked the QB ten times this season, tied for the fourth-fewest.
Tampa Bay has also turned the ball over four times this season, the third-fewest, while the Falcons have forced just four turnovers, the second-fewest in the league. A clean game from the Buccaneers’ offense should give them every opportunity to take down the Falcons quickly.
Detroit Lions (5-1) at Baltimore Ravens (4-2)
- Start time: 1 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
Both squads enter the game earning wins in Week 6. The Lions quickly dispatched the Buccaneers, while the Ravens held off a Titans comeback attempt in London.
While the Ravens won, the offense struggled to finish drives in the end zone, crossing the goal line once. Kicker Justin Tucker put six field goals through the uprights, but Detroit’s offense won’t let Baltimore get away with unfinished drives. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson will need more from his playmakers if Baltimore wants to take down the Lions.
Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) at Los Angeles Rams (3-3)
- Start time: 4:05 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Rams took care of the Arizona Cardinals with ease in Week 6, 26-9. Meanwhile, the Steelers return from the bye week hoping to improve upon a lackluster offensive performance through five weeks.
The few times the Steelers have faced off against a proven offense this season, the game has not ended well. The Texans and 49ers dropped 30 points on Pittsburgh, while the offense mustered just 13 points in both games combined. The Rams have shown they can drive up and down the field, especially with the return of WR Cooper Kupp. Can the Steelers offense finally have a breakout night?
Arizona Cardinals (1-5) at Seattle Seahawks (3-2)
- Start time: 4:05 p.m. ET
- Channel: FOX
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now
The Cardinals play their second-straight NFC West matchup after losing to the Rams 26-9 last week. The Seahawks also struggled a week ago, falling to the Bengals 17-13.
Despite the loss, the Seahawks have had a great season, showing the NFL last season’s success wasn’t a fluke. While the offense fell flat against Cincinnati a week ago, a date with the Cardinals should help the offense turn things around. QB Geno Smith has 22 touchdowns in the red zone since the 2022 season. Arizona has allowed 32 passing touchdowns in the red zone, the second-most in the NFL.
Green Bay Packers (2-3) at Denver Broncos (1-5)
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Packers look to get back in the win column after losing to the Las Vegas Raiders heading into the Week 6 bye. The chances seem high, as just about everything has gone wrong for the Denver Broncos in 2023.

While the loss against the Chiefs in Week 6 wasn’t ugly, the Broncos have dropped two straight games as the team continues struggling in Sean Payton’s first season. Packers QB Jordan Love had a forgettable outing against the Raiders in Week 5, but a game against the Broncos should turn things around for Green Bay’s offense.
Los Angeles Chargers (2-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (5-1)
- Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
- Channel: CBS
- Live stream options: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, CBS All-Access
The Chiefs earned a tough win on Thursday Night Football, taking down the Broncos 19-8. However, the Chargers lost a close one to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, 20-17.
The difference in this matchup will come from the defensive performances. Both squads boast a top-notch offense, but the defensive efforts have the Chargers chasing the Chiefs. While Kansas City’s defense hasn’t had the best of starts in recent years, Steve Spagnuolo’s crew is firing on all cylinders in 2023. If the Chargers can’t stop the Chiefs’ offense, the path to the top of the AFC West gets more challenging for Los Angeles.
Miami Dolphins (5-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-1)
- Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
- Channel: NBC
- Live stream option: Peacock
After another hot start to the season, the Eagles’ five-game win streak was halted in Week 6 by the New York Jets. On the other hand, the Dolphins won their second straight game, even with some players unavailable.
While not a problem, the Eagles’ offense is not the unstoppable force it was a season ago. However, Philadelphia could get a boost against a Dolphins defense still adapting to Vic Fangio’s scheme. Miami allows 114.5 rushing yards per game, while Philadelphia’s offense averages 150 yards on the ground. Miami can score, but will the defense’s weakness give Philadelphia an upper hand?
